2 bed Flat For Sale £565,000
Set in wonderful parkland gardens and grounds of some 17 acres, a beautifully proportioned and presented second floor luxury apartment in this impressive Jacobean country house conversion.
Description This quite stunning second floor luxuriously appointed apartment enjoys far reaching views over wonderful parkland gardens, lake and countryside and is part of the impressive Jacobean Manor house that some years ago was painstakingly converted into the fine homes we see today.
The apartment is approached from its own landing at the top of a most impressive stairway. The room sizes are generous and well proportioned and the accommodation has recently been upgraded and decorated to suit all tastes. There are two good size double bedrooms each with an en suite, a well fitted kitchen, a separate WC and a utility room. The views from every window can only be described as beautiful and the living room, being triple aspect, is quite breath taking. In addition the apartment shows off many original features and simply oozes character with exposed timbers and brickwork on display.
Approached via a private tree lined driveway of about a third of a mile in length, Aston Bury Manor is a beautiful Country House noted in the Doomsday Book and steeped in history. The grounds extend to around 17 acres in all with parkland gardens, a lake and many specimen trees. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the grounds. Residents also enjoy the tennis court and the walks through the surrounding countryside.
Step inside A large Oak front door opens into the Entrance vestibule of the main house. From here a security entry system allow access into the main hallway and communal areas. There is a residents sitting/garden room on the ground floor and a very impressive stairway leads up to the top (second) floor landing off which the apartment is found.
The Oak front door leads into your entrance hall with an excellent range of fitted cupboards, airing cupboard and store cupboard providing first class storage and hanging space. There is a separate WC with a contemporary suite. A useful utility room with sink and plumbing for a washing machine is also found off the hallway.
The living/dining room is a most impressive room with large windows to three aspects allowing one to take in the stunning views over the grounds and countryside that surrounds the Manor. Exposed timbers and studwork are on display and help define the dining area in this large room. The arched and vaulted ceiling adds to the great feeling of space.
The kitchen has been upgraded with an attractive range of wall and base units, worktops and fitted appliances and of course it enjoys views over the gardens.
The principal bedroom is really quite superb. At the far end is a raised plinth perfectly placed for a bed to sit so that one can enjoy the amazing view from your bed. There are fitted wardrobes and storage and a luxurious en suite bathroom. One cannot help but be impressed by the original red brick fireplace and exposed timbers on show in this fine bedroom.
The second bedroom is also a good size double room with luxurious en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Once again there is a bed plinth and lovely views over the gardens.
Step outside Sweeping into the tree lined driveway of Aston Bury Manor, which is around one third of a mile long and with fields and meadows on both sides, the truly magnificent and meticulously maintained grounds extend to approximately 17 acres and comprise formal English gardens, apple orchard, paddocks and woodland, two lakes and a graceful central fountain.
Aston Bury Manor is surrounded by an ornate red brick wall with pillared entrance and graveled parking area.
Well tended lawns and illumined pathways allow access to beautiful pockets of mature trees, shrubs and bordering farmland.
A hardcore tennis court is provided for residents, along with use of a lovely garden room/conservatory - ideal for soirée's and entertaining guests by prior arrangement.
Double Garage with light, power, up and over door and water close-by.
