Description
The Overman is a stylish first floor apartment, one of fourteen, within this impressive Grade II listed mansion built in 1855 in the style of a French Gothic chateau by Edward Loyd, the banker who co-founded the Loyd Entwistle & Co bank, which later became the District Bank and ultimately the National Westminster.
Located under half a mile to the south of the Moor area of Hawkhurst, the mansion sits at the end of a long gated drive with expansive communal grounds amounting to about 22 acres for the exclusive use of residents.
The apartment offers immaculately presented accommodation and features high ceilings and underfloor heating with individual thermostat controls. There is a well-proportioned reception room of good proportions, a stylish light and airy Hacker kitchen equipped with integral Smeg appliances, a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite shower room, a further bedroom and bathroom.
