A rare opportunity to acquire this stunning two bedroom penthouse apartment, set within one of the Cotswolds' most notable Grade II listed historic houses.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Brockhampton, this remarkable property is surrounded by approximately 8 acres of magnificent communal gardens, featuring a lake, an exquisite ornate bridge, and a charming 19th-century summerhouse. The property also benefits from ample parking.
The communal areas of the building are truly impressive. Upon entering the main building, you are welcomed into a formal, wood-panelled lobby, leading into a grand two story great hall adorned with intricate cornicing inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, and historic wallpaper by Pugin, who designed the interiors of The Palace of Westminster.
Dating back to the 1600s, the property was originally built for Paul Pert, a prominent courtier during the reign of King Charles I. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and enhanced by subsequent owners. The current owner has meticulously refurbished the apartment, further elevating its period features, including stone mullion windows, exposed timber beams, stripped wooden flooring, and a striking round turret.
The entrance to the apartment is nothing short of breathtaking. You are greeted by a grand hallway with a dining area situated under the magnificent turret, offering access to an undemised flat roof that boasts glorious views over the gardens and the surrounding countryside. The accommodation also includes a spacious kitchen-diner, a beautifully appointed bathroom, an elegant reception room, and two bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a stunning stone fireplace, mullion windows, and exposed stonework and timbers.
This is truly a unique property that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Properties of this calibre are rarely available on the market.
