Set within an impressive Grade II listed 18th‑century mansion, this first‑floor two‑bedroom apartment offers 1,432 sq ft of exceptionally spacious accommodation and panoramic views towards Box Hill. The formal sitting room is a standout entertaining space with high ceilings, period detail and large windows that flood the room with light. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and built‑in wardrobes, while a separate kitchen/dining room and utility room support comfortable day‑to‑day living.
Residents benefit from gated entry, extensive communal grounds maintained to a high standard, a residents’ tennis court, and allocated parking including a covered car barn. The property is offered as a share of freehold with a very long lease (971 years), reducing typical leasehold concerns and preserving long‑term value for an owner‑occupier or buy‑to‑let investor targeting premium local rents.
Buyers should note the home’s listed status: attractive period features are protected, which may limit alterations and can complicate repairs. The annual service charge is above average (£5,978) and council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the scale and communal maintenance of the estate. Overall this is a rare, low‑turnover opportunity for someone seeking a sizeable, characterful apartment in a landscaped country setting with excellent transport and local amenities nearby.
Ideal for downsizers or professionals who want the feel of a country house without the upkeep of a private estate, the apartment combines period grandeur with practical modern comforts. No onward chain means a straightforward move for a buyer ready to embrace the property’s heritage and communal lifestyle.
