A well-presented, generously proportioned apartment, enjoying exceptional views, set within this prestigious country estate on the edge of the sought-after village of Penshurst.
The Estate offers secure and convenient living in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside on the outskirts of the historic village of Penshurst and within the High Weald National Landscape. The original Swaylands House was built in the mid 1800s and later extended and sold to the banker George Henry Drummond, a close friend of Edward VII, who is reputed to have been a regular guest. Between the wars the house was used as a specialist hospital and then a school from the 1950s until the end of the 1980s.

Drummond Hall is an ideal set up for those looking for the peace of the countryside with all the "mod cons"! An ideal permanent home or UK base and so close to the village of Penshurst which continues to thrive. You cannot help but be impressed by the countryside views from the balcony and the grounds are truly wonderful.
