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.

The apartment is well presented and features some wonderful elements, including stone mullion windows, tall corniced ceilings, and high skirting boards. All the principal rooms are accessed from a long entrance hall with excellent full-height storage cupboards. Both the reception room and kitchen are located at the rear of the property and enjoy fabulous views. The well-proportioned reception room offers ample space for a dining table and chairs, features two sets of stone mullion windows, and includes a stone fireplace.
The kitchen/breakfast room is very well fitted with floor and wall-mounted units beneath granite work surfaces, a range of appliances, and French doors that open to a lovely private terrace.

Of particular note are the sizeable three double bedrooms, including the excellent principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a private bathroom with a bath and shower, a guest bedroom with a private shower room, and a third bedroom that is well served by the family bathroom.

The grounds extend to nearly 40 acres of parkland, fields, an ornate terrace with a fountain, a lake, a 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 of the main house have exclusive use of the well-equipped gym, the extensive communal grounds, and the tennis court.
