Located within the beautiful Orton Hall, this spacious one-bedroom first floor apartment offers an exceptional blend of history, character and modern convenience. Rich in period charm, the property showcases a wealth of original features including decorative wall panelling and detailed door surrounds, while benefitting from thoughtful upgrades by the current owner, including a recently fitted kitchen and contemporary shower room.

Set within an impressive Grade II listed building, believed in part to date back to the 1600s with later Georgian influences, ownership at Orton Hall provides not only a unique home but also access to its elegant communal spaces. Residents can enjoy beautifully appointed shared areas, complete with intricate wood panelling to walls and ceilings, alongside leisure features such as a piano, pool table and chess area along with laundry facilities—enhancing the lifestyle appeal of this historic setting.

The apartment, known as Clarendon, is accessed via a well-maintained communal staircase leading to the first floor landing. Internally, the accommodation is well-proportioned and has previously served both as a comfortable main residence and a successful holiday let.

The layout begins with an entrance hall leading into an inner hall, which provides access to the principal rooms. The rear-aspect double bedroom is a peaceful and generously sized space, while the stylish shower room has been recently upgraded and comprises a walk-in shower, WC and basin set upon a vanity unit, complemented by a fitted illuminated and demisting mirror and underfloor heating.

The recently refitted kitchen is both practical and attractive, featuring a range of wall and base units including a tall pantry cupboard, all topped with complementary worksurfaces and splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an eye-level oven, microwave, hob with extractor fan, slimline dishwasher and under-counter fridge. A sink with drainer and mixer taps is thoughtfully positioned, while the consumer unit and meter are neatly housed within fitted units.

The inner hall opens through to the impressive front-aspect living room with dining area. This bright and spacious reception room is enhanced by a large bay window, currently utilised as a dining space, which enjoys an elevated outlook over the attractive front grounds. A feature fireplace provides a focal point, while a dado rail continues the period detailing found throughout the apartment.

Additional storage is provided by a useful cupboard off the entrance hall, which historically offered access to the neighbouring apartment. The property also benefits from use of the cellar, where an allocated area is available for each residence and accessed externally.

Externally, parking is available to the front of the building, while the communal grounds are a delight to enjoy, featuring well-maintained landscaped areas and an attractive water feature.

Combining characterful living with modern upgrades in a truly unique historic setting, this charming apartment would suit a variety of purchasers—whether as a full-time residence, a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, or an investment opportunity.
