THE PROPERTY
Apartment 6, The Manor is a superbly luxurious ground floor apartment set in around 8.4 acres (sts) of excellent communal grounds.

Extending to approximately 1,258 sq ft, the apartment benefits from period features such as the high ceilings and original lead lined windows.
Apartment 6 is set to the rear of this stunning building with the added advantage, over those with communal entrance halls, of having a private entrance from its parking space, that is accessed from the back drive.

The main reception room enjoys the fabulous traditional proportions of this manor house conversion, with double aspect widows to the 'front' and side, a beautiful mantle and surround fireplace with inset remote controlled gas log effect fire and built in TV/storage cupboards. The kitchen breakfast room boasts granite worksurfaces to the breakfast bar and the kitchen units, with a Neff electric hob with oven below and extractor hood above. New Neff microwave oven, integrated dishwasher, washer/dryer, below counter larder fridge and separate freezer. The main bedroom again enjoys spacious proportions, with a semi vaulted ceiling and a dressing area as you walk into the room with cupboards also housing the gas fired boiler. The beautiful parquet flooring has recently been overhauled to return it to its original quality and the room benefits from an ensuite shower room that if stylishly fitted with a modern shower, basin and wc suite. The second bedroom, which is also a double sized room is adjected to the family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath with shower attachment, wash basin and wc, and there is an obscure glazed window to the hall for shared light.
