The Property

This distinguished Mansion House, dating back to 1721 and extended at the rear approximately a century ago, is set in the heart of Sandwich and has been thoughtfully converted into two generously proportioned apartments. We are pleased to offer the ground floor apartment for sale, which benefits from its own private entrance, a beautifully landscaped rear garden, and a gravelled parking area with space for three cars to the side of the property. The apartment offers spacious, single level living with four well-appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious Principal Bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower, guest bedroom with ensuite shower and a family bathroom. Two grand reception rooms feature exquisite fireplaces and period details, creating elegant spaces for relaxation and entertaining. The residence combines historical charm with modern comfort. While some refurbishment may enhance its potential, the property is perfectly habitable and ready for immediate occupation.

Outside

The garden at the rear of the apartment is truly exceptional. The terrace, with electronic sunblind, lies directly behind the house, accessed through French doors from both the Drawing Room and the Principal Bedroom. Just two steps down, a beautifully wide and level lawn unfolds, bordered on the left by deep, lush flowerbeds and vibrant shrubbery, and on the right by neatly clipped hedges. At the far end, an archway leads into a serene woodland garden, sheltered beneath the mature trees that line the historic Mill Wall - once part of the ancient town's boundary. On one side of the house, there is direct access from the utility room and garden to a practical courtyard area, ideal for laundry and other utility uses. On the other side, a gated gravel driveway provides off road parking for up to three cars.
