A stunning show apartment is now open in the main house of Audley Mote House at Bearsted, near Maidstone.

The retirement village, developed by Audley, includes 100 houses and apartments set within 450-acre Mote Park.

The latest properties, now being marketed, are the one and two-bedroom apartments within the main Grade II Georgian mansion, which are priced from £310,000

There are just 14 of the apartments, all with character features.

Also for sale, in the grounds, are some two and three-bedroom cottages, priced from £399,000.

The properties are available to those over 55 wishing to live an independent and healthy later life in beautiful surroundings.

Nick Sanderson, chief executive of Audley Retirement, said: “We’re pleased to be opening up one of Kent’s most beautiful Georgian mansions for the first time in generations. Our residents and members will benefit from the restoration of a wonderful property, as well as the availability of an exclusive country club, complete with terrace, restaurant and bistro facilities, and a swimming pool.”
