Summary - 6 THE HERMITAGE CHESTER LE STREET DH2 3RG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Character-filled two-bed with pool, parkland and gated privacy for downsizers.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in main Victorian mansion
Set within the grand Victorian Hermitage mansion, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines period character with contemporary living. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and large windows frame parkland and countryside views, while the open-plan living/kitchen suits modern entertaining and everyday life.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site leisure facilities including an indoor heated pool, sauna, gym, private tennis court and 70 acres of landscaped park and woodland. Gated entry with audio/video system adds privacy and security in a very low-crime, affluent estate setting.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with 72 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Council tax is band F (expensive) and broadband speeds are very slow. The building’s original sandstone walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect heating costs despite a gas boiler and radiators.
This apartment will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a character-filled, low-maintenance base with exceptional communal amenities and extensive grounds. Be aware of lease length and running costs before viewing; these are material factors for mortgage and long-term ownership planning.
