Shernfold Park

This elegant apartment is situated within Shernfold Park, a grand and historic mansion built by P Ashburnham in 1855 and designed by the architect Lewis Vulliamy to take full advantage of the magnificent views over the grounds, gardens and surrounding countryside. Many of the architectural features of the period remain in this wonderful home, resulting in high ceilings throughout, sash windows and shutters.

The elegant and spacious drawing room has a beautiful fireplace, which could be opened up to be functional, and period features including cornicing and mouldings, decorative ceiling rose, 2 large sash windows with internal shutters, high ceilings and skirting boards. This south-facing room also has far reaching views over the expansive grounds and gardens. The adjacent and immaculate kitchen has cream shaker style wooden cabinetry with granite worktops and integrated appliances including a range oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

The apartment’s accommodation is flexible, with the current owners using one of the bedrooms as a home office, and thanks to its good proportions this room could equally serve as an additional reception room, such as a dining room or TV snug. All of the bedrooms are good doubles, and adjacent to one is a dedicated dressing room and further hallway storage, always essential in a flat. The property benefits from a well appointed shower room and an additional separate WC. The loft is accessed from the hall and is fitted with a ladder, light and is fully boarded.

The beautifully presented and recently refitted main bathroom has a generous shower cubicle.

At the front of the apartment is a gravelled driveway and turning circle around attractive landscaped grounds. A beautiful timber communal staircase provides access to the apartment, with the area kept in immaculate condition. The attractive and mature communal grounds include formal gardens, lawns, terraces, planted borders, stone balustrades and gravel pathways. There are also specimen trees, flowering shrubs and a ‘folly’ at the end of the south lawn.

The apartment is situated in Frant, a quintessential English village with its large green, village hall, bowls club, convenience store, hairdressers, coffee shop, a church and 2 public houses. Shernfold Park will suit singles, couples and those who want to enjoy a rural location within a beautiful village and yet be close to Royal Tunbridge Wells with its 2 theatres, cafes, restaurants and shopping.
