Description

*NO ONWARD CHAIN* A beautifully presented ground-floor apartment seamlessly blends period charm with modern comfort. Set in the picturesque countryside of Box Hill, it boasts breath taking panoramic views from every room and offers easy access to scenic woodland walks, hiking trails and outdoor activities. Originally part of an elegant Victorian mansion, the property was thoughtfully converted in the 1980s into bright and versatile apartment living, complete with off-road parking and a single garage.

The apartment is accessed via a private entrance to the side of the property, leading into a bright and spacious kitchen. Featuring sleek white cabinetry, generous worktop space and freestanding appliances, the kitchen also includes a dedicated dining area perfect for entertaining. A central hallway provides useful storage and leads to the impressive 16'3" x 12'4" lounge. This wonderfully light-filled space boasts high ceilings, large windows framing stunning Box Hill views and a charming wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The current owners have maximised functionality by incorporating a study area, ideal for remote working in a blocked doorway from the study nook, which provides access to the property from the communal entrance. This could be reopened if desired.
The generous double bedroom benefits from a large bay window with original fitted shutters, a feature fireplace and built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage solutions. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary bathroom with a white suite, fitted bath and overhead shower. The entire property is bathed in natural light, enhancing the sense of space, while wooden flooring throughout provides a cohesive and stylish finish.

There is ample residents' parking along with a private single garage. Additionally, the current owners have created a delightful seating area on the front lawn-perfect for enjoying the tranquil surroundings. A large communal vegetable patch provides a peaceful spot for those who enjoy growing your own. Directly opposite the property is the use of two communal stores as well as the bin store. There is a communal cellar with storage, accessed from the main hallway.
