Description

--- This second-floor apartment is nestled within the historic and beautifully maintained Grade I listed Queen Anne mansion house, Waldershare House, which dates back to circa 1710. Formerly the residence of the Earl of Guilford, the mansion has been thoughtfully converted into a collection of apartments and mews cottages in the late 1970s. The apartment offers a grand entrance hall leading to a spacious and inviting living room with high ceilings, an open fireplace, and abundant natural light through two large sash windows. The farmhouse-style kitchen is well-equipped with ample storage, a range cooker, and a butler sink with picturesque views. The apartment features three double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The additional family bathroom is fully tiled with a shower over the bath. Outside, the property boasts a long gravel driveway with ample parking, a double garage with power and light, and a car wash bay. The communal gardens are a delight, with established trees, shrubs, and expanses of lawn, offering residents a tranquil retreat surrounded by uninterrupted countryside and far-reaching views. Located on the outskirts of the villages of Coldred and Eythorne, the apartment is close to the picturesque Waldershare Park and within easy reach of the ports of Dover, the beaches of the Kent coast, and the historic towns of Deal and Walmer. For golf enthusiasts, there are local clubs including Walmer & Kingsdown and Royal St George's in Sandwich. London commuters can access high-speed trains to London St Pancras in under two hours from Dover Priory or Ashford International. The nearby village of Eythorne provides local amenities, including a pub and a convenience store. The property is offered with a 1/24 share of the freehold and vacant possession upon completion. It has a 996-year lease remaining, with service charges and ground rent applicable, estimated at approximately £10,000 per year, which includes various maintenance and insurance costs. The apartment is available for sale with a council tax band to be confirmed and benefits from central heating, mains electricity and water, and private drainage.
