Set within a prestigious Grade I listed Palladian country house, this large second-floor apartment offers substantial living space (approx. 1,490 sq ft) and genuine period character. The master suite includes a generous en-suite and a dedicated dressing room; a third room currently used as a sitting room could serve as a bedroom or home office. Large windows and high ceilings bring light and views over 16 acres of communal gardens and Thorndon Park beyond, with direct foot-gate access to Thorndon Country Park.
The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room features integrated appliances and granite work surfaces. Practical benefits include communal parking plus an allocated garage, mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and fast broadband — useful for remote working. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can speed a purchase for buyers ready to move.
Important considerations: the building is Grade I listed and this listing status will make alterations more complicated and potentially costly; consent will be required for many works. The apartment is leasehold, so buyers should review the lease length, ground rent and service charge details. The building’s traditional solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating bills and future insulation work constrained by listed-status restrictions.
This home suits buyers seeking period prestige and generous accommodation in a peaceful, semi-rural setting within easy driving distance of Brentwood and Shenfield. It will particularly appeal to those who value substantial communal grounds, countryside access and an imposing historic setting, and who are comfortable with the added responsibilities of living in a listed, leasehold property.
