Fabulous Communal Gardens

A spacious one bedroom FIRST FLOOR APARTMENT retaining many original features presented with vacant possession, with the benefit of fabulous well stocked communal gardens that surround the building and stunning uninterrupted views towards the South Downs.

The apartment is one of only 9 conversions that form part of this imposing Victorian mansion, formerly used as a hotel and approached over an impressive tree lined driveway flanked by the communal gardens.

Twin oak doors open to the communal hallway with stairs to the first floor landing. A front door opens to the private entrance hall with built in shelved cupboards and stairs to the living/dining room. The bedroom has fabulous views to the South Downs and 2 sets of built in wardrobes. There is a shower room with a window and good size kitchen fitted with a range of cupboards and integrated cooking appliances.

A particular feature however is the dual aspect lounge/dining room, a magnificent room with high ceilings and fabulous uninterrupted views of the South Downs. Feature marble fireplace, ornate coving and high skirting boards.

Outside, the building is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a garage in a block with up and over door (middle one of 3). Large brick residents storage room with security access.

The well tended gardens provide an assortment of colours with an abundance of well stocked borders and lawns, interspersed with brick pathways and formal seating areas. Hidden drying area, impressive Ionic temple towards the front gardens.

Garage Lease: 999 years from July 1991 (separate lease from the apartment)

Please Note: in our opinion there’s scope to convert to a 2 bedroom apartment. The living room is large enough to accommodate a kitchen area, if you convert the existing kitchen into a 2nd bedroom S.T.P.P.
