A beautifully presented, sizeable three-bedroom, three bathroom first floor apartment with its own private terrace, within a prestigious Grade II listed Victorian mansion.

Swaylands House has a rich history, dating back to the mid-1800s. Once owned by banker George Henry Drummond, a close friend of Edward VII, who is reputed to have been a regular guest, this residence exudes timeless charm.

Swaylands House is situated off a country lane tucked behind electric gates. A sweeping driveway takes you to the imposing red-brick residence full of historic character, whilst providing a contemporary lifestyle within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Penshurst.

This impressive apartment is well presented for comfortable modern living with contemporary fixtures and fittings throughout, whilst retaining the character and elegance of the Victorian period with its high ceilings, underfloor heating throughout, and light and spacious accommodation.

Of particular note is the sizeable reception room, with its wide bay window and feature stone-surround fireplace. This room is in prime position to enjoy the stunning views over the grounds and surrounding countryside.

The well-proportioned kitchen also benefits from views of the gardens and countryside beyond, together with a range of appliances, including a wine fridge, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, 4-ring gas hob, oven and granite work surfaces.

The principal bedroom is spacious and features views to the front of the building, along with a convenient en suite shower room. Two additional bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and access to two more bathrooms.

The grounds extend to nearly 40 acres of parkland, fields, an ornate terrace with a fountain, a lake, tennis court, and a former cricket pitch with a pavilion; offering a blend of nature and recreation. There is also what was once the largest rockery in Europe within the grounds to explore. The gardens were described in detail in Country Life in the edition from 16th June 1906.

Residents in the main house have exclusive use of the well- equipped gym, the extensive communal grounds, and tennis court.
