Large stylish apartment set in stunning grounds.
The King Edward VII estate is a unique Grade II Listed development with a wealth of history. Founded in 1901 to care for those suffering from tuberculosis it was officially opened on the 13th June 1906 by His Majesty King Edward VII. The buildings were designed by the famed architect Charles Holden and the gardens by the acclaimed Gertrude Jekyll. In recent years the former sanatorium buildings and grounds have been redeveloped providing a number of apartments and houses together with a range of facilities including a gym, swimming pool, residents lounge, meeting rooms and guest accommodation for visitors. Throughout the stunning grounds are walks of almost 7 km meandering around the estate through mature oak woodlands and heathlands.
This elegant apartment is housed within the original hospital building occupying ground and first floors. All rooms face south with the living spaces and bedrooms enjoying extensive views over the 165 acres - the superb high ceilinged drawing room with raised dining area provides a wonderful entertaining and living space with beautiful leaded light windows and glazed doors providing access on to the delightful gardens. The bespoke fitted kitchen and generous sized study complete the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are two good sized bedrooms, both benefiting from south facing balconies, the principal bedroom has a large en suite shower room in addition to a family bathroom.

There are few properties, let alone apartments that can boast a 33' drawing room with the grandeur of this one! This is a very special property with all the added benefits that the estate offers and it would make the most perfect lock-up-and-leave setup or permanent, luxury full-time home for that matter.
