Superbly presented flat in Grade I listed Sheffield Park House, offering an exciting opportunity to make a piece of history your home.
Flat 7, Sheffield Park House offers a rare combination of space, natural light and luxury, coupled with period features and a rich heritage. The flat is situated on the first and second floors of this grand period house and is beautifully presented, decorated with style and finished with Farrow & Ball paintwork in a curated colour scheme.
The reception rooms are a particular feature, with soaring high ceilings and large sash windows, adding grandeur and a sense of space. The dining room and kitchen have sweeping views to the front of Sheffield House, over the impressive parklike communal grounds and the circular drive, and the dual aspect drawing room has a delightful bay window showcasing the spectacular views of the communal main lawn and its fountain, and beyond to the specimen trees, ponds and wildlife of Sheffield Park and Gardens, which are owned by the National Trust.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of white cabinets offering ample storage, with granite worktops. Appliances include a recently updated main oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and induction hob, plus two half-sized combination microwave/fan/grill and steam ovens.
A cloakroom and four storage cupboards complete this floor.
Stairs lead up to the landing, fitted with a period stained glass window and featuring exposed beams. On this floor is a generously sized principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, extensive wardrobes, drawer units, and two deep storage cupboards. Three stone mullioned windows create a charming feature that adds classic period elegance.
The second bedroom is delightful, with exposed beams, windows on both sides, and a fitted wardrobe. A cosy single bedroom, also ideal as an office, has fitted shelves. They are served by the family bathroom.
Flat 7 also has the benefit of a secure private wine cellar in the basement of the House.
