Sotherington LaneBlackmoor, Liss, Hampshire, GU33 6DA

A spacious two bedroom apartment in a magnificent Grade II* listed Blackmoor House, a late 19th century country mansion, originally designed by eminent Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse, who was renowned for designing The Natural History Museum, for Sir Roundel Palmer 1st Earl of Selborne.

The apartment measures 1726 sq feet and benefits from a separate single garage. Residents have the use of about 12 acres of landscaped grounds, with a lake, swimming pool and tennis court.

Reached from a grand, communal entrance hall with a large open fireplace, wood panelling and stained glass windows, the apartment has high ceilings and period features, and is entered via a wide central entrance hall with built in oak panelled bookcase, that leads to all the main rooms.

The two spacious bedrooms have built in wardrobes and oak panelled sash windows and are served by a well-appointed bathroom and separate cloakroom.

At the other end of the home is a kitchen with fitted shaker cabinets and an aga, and a large adjacent storage cupboard.

There is also a beautiful dual aspect sitting room with an ornate oak and marble gas fireplace, which benefits from plenty of natural light from triple and double oak panelled sash windows that allow far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The property is approached along a long sweeping drive through woodland and banks of rhododendrons and azaleas before opening into a wide parking area at the front of the mansion.

The grounds are a fine feature of the property with formal lawns interspersed with pathways and borders of flowering shrubs, extending to approx. 12 acres with lake, swimming pool and tennis court.
