Description

This elegant and spacious two-bedroom apartment is located within the private grounds of the historic Grade II Georgian mansion, Southlands. The property offers stunning views over the surrounding countryside and adjacent fields. Originally built for J.B. Wilkes, Southlands was later completed by Sir William Pepys, a direct descendant of Samuel Pepys, in 1834. The property remained in the Pepys family for over 60 years and was converted into its current format after serving as the headquarters for a Canadian Army Division during the Second World War.

Southlands House is approached via a long private driveway. Southlands offers a tranquil escape just 2.8 miles from the mainline rail and 3 miles from Oxted Town and station. The apartment features generously sized rooms with high ceilings and original cornices, reflecting its Georgian origins. The abundance of natural light from the large sash windows complements the beautiful countryside views.

The apartment includes a single garage en-bloc with lighting, in addition to residents and guest parking. The communal hall with original tile flooring leads up to the apartment's private entrance, opening into the entrance hallway that provides access to a formal sitting room that flows into the kitchen area overlooking the gardens, the main bedroom, and the family bathroom that also serves bedroom two. The large principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and access to an enclosed balcony with panoramic views. This property is the only apartment with a balcony. The second bedroom is served by a separate bathroom, while the kitchen is equipped with custom-built cabinets and a central island with marble work surfaces and a Gaggenau five-ring induction hob, complemented by Gaggenau Main and Steam ovens. The kitchen appliances are cleverly hidden away behind a range of custom-built cabinets with space-saving shelving solutions and integrated appliances, and also a Quooker instant hot water tap.

Southlands Estate boasts approximately seven acres of communal gardens and grounds, including an orchard that can be reserved for private events. Residents and their guests can enjoy unallocated communal parking at the front of the house. Call us now, we are Open 8am - 8pm 7 Days a Week
