Lovely Apartment in a Historic Home Offers Grand Living, Two Miles from the 'New Notting Hill'

This property is listed for £495,000 by Simon Barker of Knight Frank.

Redlynch Park is a Georgian country home with a 25 acre park, located just two miles from Bruton, a town the BBC has dubbed the ‘new Notting Hill’. The town has become an extremely fashionable place to live with excellent amenities such as renowned restaurants and an art gallery, set in the rolling hills of Somerset.

The term maisonette derives from the French word for “small house”, and is essentially a two storey flat with a separate entrance, as opposed to a shared entrance. Maisonettes were introduced in the 1960s as a solution for urban density before the rise of blocks of flats. A property like this offers a grand living experience in a stately historic home, with the convenience of “condo” living (maintenance costs are typically shared among residents). 

The Stalbridge Apartment has two bedroom suites on the first floor and an additional bedroom on the ground floor, with several living rooms (reception room, breakfast room, etc.) offering iviews onto the garden. The property comes with a single garage and a small, walled garden. Residents have access to the shared garden, tennis court, heated swimming pool, as well as the parkland.
