A Remarkable Mansion Apartment Steeped in History and Elegance

Set within a beautifully converted Grade II listed 18th century mansion, this exceptional split-level apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home rich in character, history and refined charm. Formerly the residence of Lord Lyons of Christchurch, the building blends timeless architectural elegance with carefully considered modern living. Positioned across the ground floor and lower level, this impressive home provides expansive accommodation, private outdoor space and a sense of grandeur rarely found in apartment living.

Internally, the property is beautifully presented throughout, with striking period features woven seamlessly into the contemporary layout. High ceilings and large bay windows allow natural light to flood the principal rooms, enhancing the feeling of space and connection to the outdoors. The main living areas are arranged to take full advantage of the south-facing aspect and enjoy direct access to the garden, creating a wonderful flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen and dining space forms a true heart of the home, featuring restored wooden flooring, a statement fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bay windows with doors opening directly onto the garden. This is a space perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining lounge is equally impressive, with its grand proportions, working shutters and log burner creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while still retaining the refined elegance expected of a historic residence.

Both bedrooms are located on the lower level, providing a sense of privacy and retreat. Each is a generous double and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, making the layout ideal for guests, sharers or multi-generational living. The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, offering a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and direct access to the garden, making it feel more like a luxury suite than a traditional bedroom.

The south-facing split-level garden is a standout feature in its own right. Thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting and a feature pond, it provides a peaceful and private outdoor haven that connects beautifully with both levels of the apartment.

Further benefits include two allocated parking spaces, a share of freehold and the long-term reassurance that comes with it. The building itself is set back from the road and approached via an impressive gravel driveway, with well-maintained communal grounds adding to the stately and exclusive feel of the setting.

Conveniently located within walking distance of local amenities, with village shops, a pharmacy, pub and hotel nearby, the property also enjoys easy access to Christchurch, Ringwood and the New Forest National Park, offering the perfect balance between countryside charm and everyday convenience.
