Set in some 12 acres of communal grounds, a truly stunning top floor apartment with garage, parking and a communal, floodlit tennis court.

Originally constructed in the 1600's, Hatchford Park is steeped in history and beautifully positioned within its well established and landscaped grounds.

This opulent mansion was rebuilt in the 1850's and remodelled by the Architect, Rowland Plumbe in 1890. Plumbe was famous for various residential and hospital schemes across London with some being considered the first examples of the Victorian Garden City. Through the years Hatchford Park has been home to the Earls of Ellesmere, the steel magnate William John Firth in the 1930's, taken over by the war office during the second world war and became a residential school in the 1950's.

In the 1990's the estate was purchased by developers and turned into private grand apartments as it remains today.

Upon entering through the electric gates, the drive winds its way through the estate along the driveway, through the grounds to the main house. A beautifully imposing facade greets visitors with its stunning five bay frontage and gabled centre bays along with the water feature and square pond to the front. There is extensive parking for both residents and visitors and access to the private garages.

The main entrance presents a luxurious hotel feel with its glass security entrance door, wood panelled walls and Jacobean style square staircase rising to each floor.

The Athlone apartment sits proudly on the third floor and offers wonderful views across the estate grounds. The apartment itself is extremely well appointed throughout with all principal rooms accessed from a central hallway.

The high specification Alno kitchen offers Neff appliances including oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and induction hob with extractor. There is a Quooker boiler tap and waste disposal unit and Blanco sink with quartz work surfaces including a breakfast bar. This room continues to a dining area with room for a central table comfortably seating around 8 guests.

Double doors open from the main hallway to the principal drawing room, split into two distinct areas, ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

Both of the spacious bedrooms offer en-suite facilities along with built in wardrobes. These are well appointed with the second en-suite offering a bath and shower.

Externally, the main house is encased in its spectacular communal grounds which extend to some 12 acres. The estate includes a synthetic surfaced, floodlit tennis court, hedge maze and Japanese water garden. Beauteous specimen trees sit in the grounds, interspersed into the extensive, well-manicured lawns with fields and farmland beyond.

The estate offers direct access to Ockham Common and the property is within easy reach of the popular Black Swan restaurant and pub (less than a mile away). Effingham Junction station (1.5 miles) runs a direct service to London Waterloo in around 40 minutes.

There is also easy access to the A3 and M25 as well as both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Nearby Cobham High Street offers a selection of boutique shops and restaurants, including The Ivy brasserie.
