Forming part of a stately 15th century castle conversion, this exquisite period apartment is brimming with style and character, and effortlessly blends a wealth of period features with sympathetic modern upgrades. Set within sprawling shared parkland, and accompanied by private allocated parking, the impressive two-bedroom property represents a stylish period home, in an outstanding rural location.

Approached via a sweeping gravelled driveway, a sheltered shared entrance leads to the apartment's front door. Stepping inside, a hallway is airy and welcoming, and flows into a study, with built-in storage, where a traditional sash-and-case window (with working shutters) yields leafy gardens views and gives a hint of the traditional features and period charm to follow. From the entrance hall, a staircase winds up to a delightful contemporary shower room on the first floor, and then rises to a bright, naturally-lit landing and the living accommodation on the second floor. Here, a dual-aspect reception room is elegant and spacious, and characterised by handsome wood-panelled windows, warmly-toned timber flooring, a soaring ceiling framed by smooth cornicing, and a delightful, original working fireplace. Plenty of space is available for relaxed lounge furniture, as well as a dining table and chairs, and the impressive area flows into a kitchen. Enhancing the apartment's traditional aesthetic, the kitchen is styled with classic timber cabinetry and rustic tiling, and incorporates an integrated oven, a ceramic hob, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a freestanding washing machine. Ample space is provided for seated dining.

The home's two bedrooms are accessed off a bright galleried landing on the third floor. Whilst the charming second bedroom enjoys versatile floorspace and leafy dual-aspect views, the generous principal bedroom is accompanied by built-in storage and a stylish modern en-suite bathroom. Electric heating is found throughout.

Externally, the majestic building is set in extensive, wooded parkland, where residents can enjoy sprawling manicured lawns, and mature trees and planting. The apartment benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

N.B. All items of furniture are available by separate negotiation.
