Occupying a distinguished position within the magnificent Baldwyns Mansions, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment presents a rare opportunity to own a home within one of Dartford's most iconic historic buildings.

Originally the residence of Sir Hiram Maxim, the renowned inventor whose pioneering work included the development of early steam-powered flying machines and aviation concepts, Baldwyns Mansions is rich in character and architectural heritage. Today, it has been sympathetically converted into an exclusive collection of luxury apartments whilst preserving its remarkable period features.

Approached through a secure gated entrance, the development enjoys beautifully maintained communal grounds and a wonderfully peaceful setting, creating an immediate sense of privacy and exclusivity.

The apartment itself is generously proportioned and beautifully presented throughout. Large traditional sash windows flood the accommodation with natural light while framing picturesque views over the surrounding grounds. High ceilings and elegant proportions enhance the feeling of space, creating a home full of charm and sophistication.

The spacious living and dining room provides an ideal setting for both relaxing and entertaining, with direct access to a private balcony roof garden the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind in peaceful surroundings.

The separate kitchen is well-appointed with ample storage and workspace, making it both practical and stylish.

There are two generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom benefitting from its own ensuite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is served by a well-finished family bathroom.

One of Baldwyns Mansions' most striking features is its magnificent grand staircase, an elegant centrepiece that reflects the building's rich heritage and timeless architecture. Please note that the building does not have a lift, further preserving its original character.

The apartment also benefits from allocated parking and, importantly, is offered with the significant advantage of Share of Freehold, providing greater long-term security and control over the building.

This is a truly unique opportunity to own a home that offers history, elegance and modern convenience in equal measure.
