This is an exceptionally spacious and unique apartment is part of a 15th century Manor House that was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers in WW1 and is full of history and original features.

Beautifully presented, full of light and character with high ceilings throughout, the property is set within mature grounds of approximately 2 acres in this magnificent Grade II Listed Manor House, dating back to 1458, which has been converted to provide 9 exclusive and individual apartments.

As you enter the grand entrance hall, its wide sweeping staircase takes you to the first floor, where your own front door leads into the central hallway, leading into all rooms.

The lounge/dining room has feature panelled walls, two sash windows overlooking the grounds and a beautiful working fireplace with solid wood surround. The bespoke kitchen has been handmade using reclaimed timber and is crafted to sympathetically fit the space and character of the building, with a breakfast bar for dining and a window seat to enjoy the view over the nature reserve to the front. The bathroom has been lovingly restored to reveal the original 1920s quartz tiles which cover the floor and walls and the three piece fittings again fit with the character of the building. The two bedrooms are very large, one with a magnificent arched window overlooking the nature reserve with a window seat to enjoy as well as beautiful exposed beams. The other has a working marble fireplace and a sash window overlooking the grounds.

The grounds of this unique conversion are especially attractive, with mature lawns, communal grounds extending to around 2 acres, offering well maintained lawns, flower and shrub beds, and a 1920s thatched timber Summer House for all to enjoy.

A private lane from Cripple Street leads you to the ample communal parking for the residents which surrounds a green at the front of the building, with a nearby single garage en-bloc.

Whilst it feels very rural, you are only a short walk away from shops, supermarkets, a gym and local amenities and a short drive to the County Town of Maidstone with its wide range of shops, restaurants and transport links. You also have access to wonderful country walks right on your doorstep, whether into Hayle Park Nature Reserve or the beautiful Loose Valley. The Manor is also within the catchment area for the outstanding Loose Primary School as well as Maidstone Grammar schools.
