Full Description: Situated in the elegant Clock House and surrounded by the rolling parkland of historic Redlynch Park, this stylish first-floor apartment blends timeless charm with a coveted country lifestyle. Here, every day offers the chance to live within a piece of history while enjoying the prestige and tranquillity of an exclusive estate.

Redlynch Park is situated c 3km south-east of Bruton, to the west of the B3081 road. The c 25-acre site comprises gardens, pleasure grounds, walled gardens, parkland, and woodland. The site is enclosed by a stone wall.

Redlynch Park comprises two houses separated by a carriage court. The houses were originally constructed by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton for Lord Ilchester in the first half of the C18 as stables and carriage houses; they were remodelled for domestic use in 1913 by Edwin Lutyens. The property subsequently passed through several ownerships and uses until 1985 when it was converted into apartments. For further historical context, search Historic England 1000420.

The apartment is reached via a communal entrance, stairs to the first floor, and a door from the landing, which leads into a private entrance hall with doors leading to the bedrooms, shower room, and sitting room.

The principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom fitted with a classic white suite comprising panelled bath with shower attachment, wash basin, WC, extractor fan, and chrome heated towel rail. There is a wall mounted cupboard offering convenient storage for everyday bathroom items. Traditional checkerboard pattern flooring lends a timeless elegance to the space. There is a second double bedroom. Both bedrooms have built-in storage and enjoy views across the estate.

There is a separate shower room fitted with a glass shower enclosure, contemporary white suite, extractor fan, wall mounted cupboard, and chrome heated towel rail. This too has a wall mounted cupboard and checkerboard pattern flooring.

The sitting room has a fireplace, a new electric fire, and stunning panoramic views over the grounds towards the lake and beyond. Off this room is a modern kitchen fitted with an array of contemporary base and wall units, integrated dishwasher, integrated fridge-freezer, integrated washing machine, stainless steel double sink with drainer and mixer tap, electric oven, four-ring electric hob, extractor hood, and solid wood work surfaces.

There is loft space which is partially boarded and has lighting.

Outside the parkland wraps around the property and is beautifully laid out with planting of box hedging, yew hedges, and borders planted with an abundance of flora, shrubs, and mature trees. In addition to this there are walled gardens with allotments - there is an allocated allotment and a cold frame. There is also a communal outdoor heated pool and tennis court, both perfectly positioned to take maximum advantage of the views, and a C18 summerhouse. There is also the benefit of a garage with electricity and a shared car park for residents and guests.

The Clock House has recently been fitted with an integrated fire alarm system. Recent completed external maintenance projects include relining of the swimming pool and renewing of pipework, and refurbishment of the original clock face. Re-painting of all sash windows is planned and due to start shortly.
