Steeped in a rich legacy of English heritage, this elegant ground floor apartment exudes the charm and character of a bygone age, combined with the convenience and practicality of modern-day facilities. Walberton Park as we know it today, was built on the site of the former manor house site by Richard Prime, a descendant of Sir Samuel Prime, the King’s ancient sergeant under George II. Prime employed the services of the eminent architect of the day, Sir Robert Smirke and his brother, who together designed the British Museum. The new house was influenced by Grecian architecture which was favoured during the Regency period (1800-1830). Evidence of this is expressed by the elegant portico with its tall slim fluted Doric columns spanning a full 60’ across the southern elevation of this very special apartment. Subsequent, owners include The Earl of Woolton who held a high Government office during World War II as Minister of Supply. The conversion into apartments was completed during the 1980’s by Sir Graham Eyre who built a house for himself in the former kitchen garden.
Once inside the communal entrance hall you will immediately appreciate the high ceilings and sweeping staircase to the first floor. High ceilings are a key feature of the apartment reaching up to 14’7 in the magnificent drawing room. This room faces south and west with five huge windows adorned by integral wooden shutters. The kitchen/ breakfast room is well appointed with a comprehensive range of cupboards, integrated appliances and a large central work island. There are two bedrooms and two modern shower rooms, one being en-suite to the principal bedroom. There is also an office/store room. Space and storage are in plentiful supply including built-in bedroom furniture and an attic accessed via the entrance hall.
Set in three acres of delightful communal grounds, the apartment has a private west patio and a garage in a courtyard to the rear of the building with an electric door.
