Set within approximately seven acres of formal gardens, this substantial top-floor apartment occupies over 1,100 sq ft in a Grade II listed manor conversion. A bright living room and an impressive 20ft kitchen/dining room face open countryside, while large windows and high ceilings enhance the sense of space. The principal bedroom includes fitted walk-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite; the second double also has generous fitted storage and a separate bathroom. Two allocated parking spaces and unrestricted use of grounds (tennis court, croquet lawn) add practical lifestyle value.
The apartment is leasehold with about 104 years remaining, a current service charge averaging £3,000 and a ground rent of £700. Its listed status preserves many period features but will restrict external alterations and may complicate some changes. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.

Note the top-floor location is reached by a communal staircase; there is no mention of lift access. Council tax is above average. Overall, the apartment offers substantial living space, attractive communal grounds and countryside outlooks, balanced against the costs and constraints of leasehold and listed ownership.
