Description
A well established and elegant three bedroom, two bathroom first floor apartment set within a stunning Grade I listed mansion house, with 16 acres of maintained grounds including tennis court, heated swimming pool, formal gardens, private garaging and parking, located in a wonderfully private rural setting just 4 miles south of the market town of Faversham.
This magnificent property was built in 1654 and originally owned by the Sondes family. The Mansion House was converted into luxury apartments some 30 years ago. Upon arrival at Lees Court, a private driveway from the village of Sheldwich Lees leads through meticulously tended landscaped grounds leading to a visitor parking area and the entrance to the stable yard complex. The mansion house will be found on your right in front of the formal gardens. A staircase from the south westerly access door leads up stairs to the apartment door.
Upon arrival at Apartment 7, one is greeted with a superb entrance hall with full height ceiling and access to all well-proportioned rooms including a magnificent light and airy 22'8 x 21'8 double aspect drawing room, contemporary fitted kitchen/breakfast room with an illuminated vaulted ceiling and a range of integrated appliances, a principal bedroom which enjoys an en-suite shower room, second bedroom and a luxury three piece bathroom suite. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating.
Outside, one enjoys the use of 16 acres of maintained grounds which include extensive lawned areas with floral beds and pathways, an outdoor heated swimming pool and all-weather tennis court all of which is exclusively just for residents. Private parking is provided by a two single garage and additional communal parking. For visitors, there is a dedicated visitor car park.
Sheldwich is a delightfully pretty village lying some four miles south of the market town of Faversham and 10 miles north of Ashford, both with an excellent array of shopping and leisure facilities and main line railway stations providing fast access to London and the Kent coast.
Fast road networks are easily accessible by car with junction 6 of the M2 motorway being just 1.5 miles to the north, providing access to the capital and north Kent.
