Description
Approached through electric gates and surrounded by approximately five acres of attractive communal grounds, the property is the largest apartment within the development and retains an abundance of original architectural character. Ornate plasterwork, leaded-light windows, decorative ceilings, period fireplaces and generous room proportions provide a wonderful sense of grandeur, while the accommodation has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully updated for modern living.
A private entrance opens into a useful vestibule with a large storage cupboard, beyond which the spacious hallway provides access to the principal rooms. The substantial kitchen, dining and family room is particularly well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. It features an extensive range of fitted cabinetry, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a tiled floor, together with an impressive original fireplace and a bay window overlooking the front of the building.
The magnificent drawing room is undoubtedly one of the apartment’s defining features. This remarkable reception space benefits from a broad bay window overlooking the gardens, an ornate curved ceiling with intricate plaster detailing, decorative corbels and a contemporary LPG fire. An original internal archway leads through to an additional seating area, creating a versatile and sociable arrangement with views across the private garden and direct access to the covered terrace.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering fitted wardrobe storage. The principal bedroom is an elegant room with an imposing period fireplace, a separate dressing room and a modern en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom enjoys double doors opening directly onto the characterful, partially covered terrace, while the third bedroom is currently fitted and arranged as a home office, also with access to the outside space.
Externally, the apartment enjoys what is understood to be the largest private garden and terrace within the development. The covered terrace provides an attractive sheltered area for outdoor seating and entertaining, opening onto the apartment’s own garden and the extensive east-facing communal grounds beyond.
Two allocated parking spaces are provided, together with additional visitor parking. Offered with a share of the freehold and no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally spacious and characterful home within easy reach of Four Elms, Westerham and the surrounding countryside.
