Located in the very heart of Farnham, this charming two bedroom penthouse apartment offers exceptional character and over 1,000 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation. Positioned within Castle House—a building with a rich local history—the property is offered to the market with no onward chain. Originally home to St Polycarp’s Catholic School from 1891 until 1962, Castle House was sympathetically converted into just 12 residential apartments in 2006. The building retains much of its architectural charm, which is reflected throughout this impressive top floor home. Upon entering the apartment, you are immediately struck by the striking vaulted ceilings, a feature that runs throughout and creates a wonderful sense of space. Multiple skylights in every room further enhance the light and airy atmosphere. The dual aspect open plan living and dining room provides generous and flexible space for modern living. This is complemented by a stylish contemporary kitchen fitted with stainless steel splashbacks, integrated appliances including a dishwasher, and an electric oven and hob. There are two well proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en suite bathroom—ideal for guests or sharers. A further guest bathroom adds to the overall convenience and practicality of the layout. This unique penthouse blends history, character, and contemporary comfort, all within moments of Farnham’s shops, restaurants, parks, and mainline station.
