3 bedroom apartment

Park House was built for the Bishop of Colchester in 1875 and was sympathetically converted into three apartments in 1948. This unique and very spacious ground floor apartment extends to 1770 square feet and benefits from its own large garden. The garden is of a good size, faces south and is bounded by mature specimen trees. The apartment boasts much character with its high ceilings & fireplaces, sash & stained glass windows, stripped pine doors & exposed floor boards. It offers large reception rooms which are ideal for entertaining and flexible accommodation, including a hardwood conservatory, a useful cellar and a double garage. The new owners have the opportunity to purchase the freehold of the property by separate negotiation, if they so choose. Park House is situated on a private and exclusive cul de sac, a stone's throw away from Shenfield Common and Brentwood High Street. It is only a short walk from Brentwood School and Station and a five minute drive from Shenfield Station. King Georges Park, Hartswood and Thorndon Country Park are all close by.
