Meadow Cottage, Bengeo

A refined two-bedroom split-level apartment within an exceptional Victorian manor setting
Introducing a rare opportunity to acquire an elegant residence within the distinguished Ware Park Manor, a striking Victorian country house set within beautifully maintained parkland. This exceptional two-bedroom apartment effortlessly combines period grandeur with contemporary refinement, offering a lifestyle that is both tranquil and connected.
Positioned within the main house, the property immediately impresses with its sense of scale and architectural integrity. High ceilings, large windows and carefully considered finishes create a light-filled and sophisticated interior throughout.
The accommodation is arranged over a split-level layout, adding both character and practicality. The welcoming entrance hall sits on the first floor, where a statement staircase and clean lines set the tone. From here, stairs descend to a superb dual-aspect living space, where natural light pours in from multiple elevations. This is a genuinely usable room, not just visually appealing, with clear zoning for both relaxation and dining.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and finished to a high standard, featuring a Nordic oak fitted kitchen with stone worktops, a Smeg oven, and fully integrated AEG appliances including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. A Quooker tap provides instant boiling and filtered water, combining functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic.
The upper level provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks across the surrounding grounds. The principal bedroom is particularly well balanced, while the second room offers flexibility as a guest room or home office without feeling compromised. The bathroom has been stylishly appointed with marble tiling and Lusso stone fixtures, delivering a refined and cohesive finish.
Externally, residents benefit from access to extensive communal gardens, which are a genuine asset rather than an afterthought. Mature trees, open lawns and a sense of space give the setting a country house feel, while still being within easy reach of local amenities.
A garage en bloc is included, along with allocated parking and ample visitor spaces. That combination removes a common friction point in developments of this type.
The history here is not marketing fluff, it is real and adds weight. Ware Park is referenced in the Domesday Book and has long-standing royal and historical associations, including ownership by the Fanshawe family during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The current structure, rebuilt in 1912 and later converted in 1980, retains its stature while offering modern convenience.
