A Grand Duplex Apartment Set Within Exceptional Parkland Grounds

Set within the historic former Victorian residence of Lord Herbert Austin, The Healey Suite is an impressive two-bedroom duplex apartment that offers space, character, and a truly unique setting. With elegant proportions, striking period features, and access to outstanding communal grounds extending to approximately 27 acres, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy apartment living on a grand scale, with scope to further personalise and modernise over time.

Accessed via either a passenger lift or a magnificent restored staircase rising from the communal reception hall, the apartment immediately reflects the scale and craftsmanship of this landmark building. The communal areas themselves are a feature, showcasing restored ceiling artwork, stained glass panels, and classic tiled flooring that set a dramatic and welcoming tone.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged over two levels and offers a wonderful sense of flow. A generous entrance hallway provides access to a cloak cupboard and guest W.C. The formal lounge is an elegant and light-filled space, centred around a beautiful bay window that enhances the apartment’s sense of grandeur. A separate dining room leads out to a private balcony, ideal for enjoying views across the beautifully maintained grounds. The breakfast kitchen has been refitted and features a range of integrated appliances, combining practicality with everyday comfort.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities. The apartment also enjoys upgraded double-glazed windows and the added convenience of a private garage with an electric door, along with additional storage space above.
