Frant Court, Frant

3 Bedroom Ground Floor Flat for sale in Tunbridge Wells

Originally built in 1859 by Sir Stratford Canning, Viscount de Redcliffe, Frant Court is a magnificent country house set in extensive grounds. At the grand age of 86 Sir Stratford Canning an eminent diplomat and Ambassador to St. Petersburg became resident at Frant Court and lived there until his death. Documents written at the time give a flavour of the grandeur and majesty of the house in its early days. The house remained in the Canning family until the last of Stratford de Redcliffe's sisters died and the house was subsequently purchased by Miss Thornton, a local spinster who spent huge sums of a new wing and also transformed the nature of the house into that of the 'Arts and Crafts' style including a woodland garden by the eminent Gertrude Jekyll. Since then, it has had various owners but time has not diminished any of its former splendour.



The country house was later re-modelled into a series of apartments and further town houses were added, all set within the beautiful communal grounds of approximately 9 acres which include a tennis court. The property itself is on the ground floor and enjoys a spacious living/dining room, a further kitchen/breakfasting room, two bedrooms with en-suite facilities, a separate cloakroom and a third bedroom/study. It also has the advantage of two parking spaces within the grounds.
