PART OF THIS SPECTACULAR HERITAGE COULD BE YOURS… This is a superb opportunity to acquire this unique south-facing garden apartment, set in the magnificent grounds of Guisnes Court in Tolleshunt D'Arcy. The building is noted for its Georgian Revival architecture, which was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. This blend of styles reflects a focus on symmetry, classical proportions, and handcrafted details, which were hallmarks of these architectural traditions.

This historic property has a rich past, from the lord of the manor using the grounds for duck shooting, to its role as a Voluntary Aid Detachment (V.A.D.) hospital during the First World War. It provided care facilities for wounded soldiers, showcasing the community's dedication to the war effort.

A fascinating chapter in Guisnes Court's history was when Guisnes was a popular Country Club/Night Club in the area. In c1984, the building suffered a fire and was destroyed. In 1987, the sympathetic reconstruction ensured that the property retained its historical charm while adapting to modern needs as apartments.

The property would suit a garden enthusiast (or someone who would like to sit back and enjoy nature, in the private garden and beyond.
