Set within a Grade I listed Georgian mansion and set against 16 acres of formal grounds, this two-bedroom apartment offers elevated period living with modern comforts. High ceilings, large rooms and two working open fireplaces give the home strong character and a sense of grandeur often missing in conventional flats. The apartment comes with garage parking and access to estate amenities including a seasonal outdoor pool and tennis court.
Practical details are straightforward: share of freehold with a very long lease (899 years) and immediate use of the estate grounds. The property is well presented but sits within a listed building, which will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and consenting. Service charges are above average at £5,892 per year and there is an exclusivity/processing fee process tied to the purchase, so factor ongoing and transactional costs into your budget.
The setting suits buyers seeking a quiet countryside lifestyle with good local schools and rail links to London from nearby Faversham. Note limitations: broadband speeds are very slow, primary heating is LPG boiler and radiators (not a communal gas supply), and walls are solid brick with assumed lack of insulation — these are common in historic fabric and may affect running costs and retrofit options. Viewing is recommended to appreciate room proportions and the estate’s landscaped grounds.
This apartment will particularly appeal to those downsizing or seeking a secondary rural base with distinctive period features, large communal grounds and leisure facilities, provided they are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the higher service charge.
