Property Description

This elegant two double bedroom luxury apartment forms part of a magnificent Grade II listed Victorian country home which dates back to the 1860s.

Set in a secluded position and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens with stunning open countryside views, this home enjoys the best of both worlds as it is also only a short walk from the excellent village amenities and transport links into central London.

A set of stone steps to the side lead up to a pretty part glazed door which opens into a grand entrance hallway, its wide sweeping staircase taking you up to the apartment's own front door.

Once inside, the apartment's neutral palette and cream carpets flow throughout the property creating a tranquil space. The owners have created an exacting level of finish due to their exceptional attention to detail which showcases the home's period features whilst delivering 21st century contemporary living.

There are two graceful large double bedrooms, both with en-suites and stunning views. The master bedroom has a useful lobby area with storage leading to its luxurious bathroom with roll top bath whilst the second bedroom has a period fireplace and a fitted double wardrobe.

The beautiful grounds surrounding Bidborough Court extend to about 3 acres in total with lush green sloping lawns to the rear meeting spectacular open countryside views.
