Description

A magnificent south-facing ground floor apartment, extending to approximately 1,571 sq ft, forming part of this impressive late Victorian country house, set within beautifully maintained communal parkland approaching seven acres.

Nanhurst Park is an elegant mansion house, converted in 2000 into just 12 luxury apartments. The property is approached via electric wrought iron gates from Elmbridge Road, leading to a sweeping driveway and creating a wonderful sense of arrival. The building retains an abundance of character, with an impressive communal reception hall, grand staircase and galleried landing, reflecting the grandeur of the original era.

Occupying a prime ground floor position within the main house, this exceptionally well-proportioned apartment offers elegant and well-balanced accommodation with a superb sense of space and light throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a stunning 24ft drawing room, featuring high ceilings, full-height sash windows, ornate cornicing and an original fireplace – an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living.

Double doors open into a substantial conservatory/dining room extending across the rear of the property. This bright and airy space enjoys a delightful outlook over the grounds and provides direct access onto a south-facing terrace and gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The adjoining kitchen is well appointed and conveniently positioned to serve both reception areas.

The accommodation further comprises two generous double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and an ensuite shower room, alongside a second double bedroom served by a separate family bathroom.

A particular feature of the apartment is the private terrace and adjoining lawn area, accessed directly from the conservatory and designated for the exclusive use of Flat 2. Beyond this lies the wider communal parkland, offering a picturesque and tranquil setting rarely found in apartment living.

Externally, the property benefits from a single garage in a nearby block, an allocated parking space, and additional visitor parking within the grounds.
