The Property
Arch Spa is a charming two bedroom mews house finished to an exceptional
standard, one of an exclusive collection of mews properties that form part of
a striking and characterful Grade II Listed country castle.
The fully furnished property features a generous sitting room with stylish
décor. The fabulous kitchen/dining room area is fitted with sleek cappuccino -
coloured units with quartz worksurfaces and a range of high quality
appliances. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.
Stairs rise to the first floor and two sumptuous bedrooms. The first bedroom
boasts a super king - size bed and offers a relaxing escape, while the second
bedroom is a spacious twin. The bedrooms are served by the luxurious family
bathroom with stunning Art Deco flooring, Metro tiled walls and a gorgeous
roll - top bath.
Arch Spa benefits from access to the fabulous gardens and grounds of this
historic property. The earliest records for the site date back to the early
13th century. The original castle is thought to have been demolished in the
1600s, before renowned local architect Ignatius Bonomi partnered with Cuthbert
Rippon of London to carry out extensive rebuilding work in 1798. Throughout
the intervening years, the castle has seen a number of uses, before it was
sold in 1980 and the private apartments were created.
The property is available furnished or unfurnished.
