Flat 1 Flat 1 Higham Lane Canterbury

Blink and you will miss the private entrance that leads to the imposing Grade II listed mansion that contains your palatial apartment set within the sought after location of Bridge.

Park your car in your allocated space and let the grand entrance doors welcome you inside. Redecoration to the communal areas is scheduled which will invigorate the impressive entrance hall. There is a dome skylight to the ground floor level ceiling, as well as a further oval skylight to the ceiling above the staircase, both of which allow the natural sunlight to illuminate this space. Beautiful.

Follow the entrance to the grandiose staircase which take you up to the first floor, passing the apartment on the mezzanine level. As you enter your apartment, let the weight of the world lift from your shoulders. Kick off your shoes and take a peek in the pantry to consider what is best for dinner. To the right hand side, the bijoux kitchen has plenty of storage and is well designed to fit into the snug space on offer. A strategically placed chair allows you to be sociable if you like, but for those who prefer to cook in peace, this bright kitchen is perfect for you!

The ceilings appear to soar as you pass into the main hall of the property, leading to the expansive living area. This room is a true delight with dual aspect windows and a working fireplace at its heart. The double doors do not lead to any external space but offer a fantastic view of the well kept, sweeping communal gardens. You have plenty of space to create a dining area within this room if that suits your needs due to the scope of the space on offer, plus this impressive room is one that needs to be enjoyed so make the most of it!

To explore the rest of this apartment, you will pass by the fitted wardrobes that are located to the rear of the entrance hall to the arched door of the bathroom. This sweet room is neutral with natural light and is also an ideal utility area with space for a washing machine. The roll top bath pays homage to the period style of this property but there is potential to modernise and make more of this room if that is your wish.

The sleeping quarters are accessed via a secondary hallway to the right of the main entrance hall. The second bedroom is a double room with views out over the communal gardens. This would make a fantastic office space/spare room if needed while the main bedroom is a delight to behold. Push open the door to this elegant bedroom that oozes class and sophistication. With a feature fireplace, picture rails and dual aspect windows, this sumptuous sleeping space is the perfect private space away from the rest of the apartment. A lavish oasis just for you to enjoy with views out over the green grass of the gardens. Simply wonderful.

There are many original features throughout the entire property and the apartment itself which truly needs to be seen to be appreciated. The apartment is single glazed but has gas fired central heating which is rare in most apartments. The mansion was converted in the mid 1900's and there are a total of seven apartments in the property. Bridge Hill House is currently undergoing significant refurbishment as part of a four year project, so buyers are sought who understand what is involved to be a custodian of such an historic property.
