Frant Court, Frant

This beautifully presented modern three storey, 3 bedroom townhouse is set within an exclusive, gated development of nine acres with amazing views out over Eridge Park and beyond. The property is one of about a dozen townhouses set in the grounds of 'Frant Court', a substantial Victorian country manor, built by Lord Stratford de Redclyffe when he retired in 1858. The communal gardens were set out by Gertrude Jekyll around 1910 and comprise formal terraces with gravel walks leading down to meandering woodland walks and a delightful pond with stepping stones. The grounds also include a hard tennis court for residents. The property itself is immaculately presented with spacious accommodation over its three floors. The ground floor sitting room opens out via French doors to a professionally landscaped private garden. The kitchen with dining area includes a range of appliances and there's a useful adjacent separate utility room. There are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor and the principal bedroom with its en suite shower room is on the second floor. Other features include gas central heating, parking for two cars and the benefit of no forward chain. Given the property's quite enviable setting we really must encourage interested applicants to view without delay.
