Property description
This beautiful mansion building is surrounded by peaceful countryside and stunning grounds and boasts breath-taking views so you can look forward to coming back home at the end of your working day. The very grand, sweeping private drive leads you to an elevated, secluded location where you can park and marvel at the view for a while before entering the main building. The first thing you notice is the wonderfully elegant staircase and very impressive entrance hall. Inside the main apartment, you will be bowled over by the space on offer. If you enjoy entertaining, you will love the layout of the living space. Open plan and spacious and with a raised dining area, this space is ideal for inviting friends over for dinner and the chef for the night can still catch up on the gossip from the open stylish kitchen area complete with luxury granite work tops. Afterwards, everyone can cosy up in front of the roaring log burner and relax. If your guests want to stay the night you can put them up with ease and having one of the bedrooms en-suite as well as a large main bathroom makes it great for sharers too. Outside the vast grounds are meticulously kept so you can take your pick of areas to relax in the sunshine and there is even a garage for your car. Beautifully decorated and with a remarkable attention to detail, this elegant apartment is cleverly designed and with wonderful views out of the windows as well as the grounds, gives you something pretty fantastic to wake up to!
What the Owner says:
What I found fascinating about this apartment when I bought it 11 years ago was the sheer amount of history attached to it. Anstie Grange was built by Admiral Leopold Heath and later enhanced by his son Cuthbert Heath, a leading member of Lloyds of London Insurers. During the first World War it was loaned to the nation to be used as a military hospital for wounded officers. In the second World War it was pressed into service again, this time as a training centre for the Army Nursing Service - on one occasion Queen Mary attended the passing out parade on the lawn. It was really interesting to find this all out and anyone interested can find more information at the Dorking museum. I have transformed this apartment since owning it and have thoroughly loved living here.
