Description
Arlebury Park House was commissioned by the Harris family and was constructed in 1774 in an attractive 'Italianate' mansion style. It was divided into eight apartments after the Second World War and in the mid 1990s it was developed by the M25 Group and remodelled to provide eleven prestigious apartments, with the driveway being revised to come in through the front of the parkland to the main house. This fine apartment is located on the ground floor and comes with impressive accommodation of generous proportions.
The principal drawing/dining room with its high ceilings, central fireplace and large bay window affording attractive views over the grounds and surrounding countryside is a great space for formal entertaining as well as everyday living, a truly impressive living space with great detailing reflecting its period origins. A kitchen comes with range of floor and wall mounted units. There are two bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and the other serviced by a family bathroom.
