2 bed Flat For Sale £270,000
Guide price: £270,000 -- £290,000.
Internal viewings available on request.
Hidden from the road behind mature trees and manicured grounds; the low-rise developments of Curwen Place feel wonderfully tranquil, yet they remain incredibly well-connected to the city by train, bus or car. This spacious two-bedroom is formed within the ground floor of Cherrywood which sits close to the top of the hill with unallocated parking spaces to the front. Facing east and south, it is naturally light throughout and enjoys the most glorious views across the leafy green of Preston Valley. The interior is well-proportioned and has been modernised in places, yet there remains plenty of scope to add value or put your own stamp on the place. Perfectly positioned for commuters, you are just a short walk from Preston Park Station and the A23/A27 are just minutes away, plus you are in the catchment for several popular schools, meaning this would be popular with professional sharers, investors and families alike.
Style: Ground floor flat in a 1960s complex
Type: 2 double bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom
Location: Withdean
Floor Area: 675sq.ft
Outside: Communal areas of lawns
Parking: Unallocated residents' permit parking
Why you'll like it:
With space and light in abundance; this generous two-bedroom apartment is immediately welcoming, and it lends itself to both family time and for entertaining. The rooms are well-proportioned, and the windows are wide to take full advantage of the green views which change so beautifully with the seasons. Being elevated on the hill, the views become far reaching to the east, so you can watch the sunrise above the roof and treetops of the city.
Built during the 1960s, Cherrywood has the smart, linear architectural design of the period, which is softened by the wide variety of plants and trees within the grounds. You approach up the hillside drive to the flat parking bays by the entrance to the buildings where the apartment is clearly numbered.
Upon entry you are welcomed into a wide hallway with space to hang coats and store shoes. The kitchen is first to the right looking out to the front of the building. The units have been painted a vibrant petrol blue adding a welcome pop of colour to the room which has plenty of storage and work space. The appliances are freestanding to include a cooker, fridge, washing machine and tumble dryer, while the Vaillant combination gas boiler is wall mounted and the freezer is in the hall cupboard.
Next door, the bathroom has again been brightened using green paint for the walls which complements the white suite and wall tiles around the bath. This has a shower over it, and there is a heated rail for towels. While these rooms are in fine working order, it would be possible to modernise which would add value in such a sought-after location.
At the end of the hall, the living room is a fantastic size with dual aspect windows running along the east and southerly walls bringing in verdant views of the local landscape. These form a delightful backdrop to the room to be enjoyed while relaxing, entertaining or dining, as there is ample space in here for all three.
Both bedrooms are sizable doubles with soft carpet underfoot and energy efficient double-glazing so you can always ensure a truly restful night's sleep. The principal bedroom also has a wall of built in wardrobes which maximise the floor space further and it shares the same favoured outlook as the living room next door. Bedroom two is currently being used as a tranquil home office for two, but it would easily house a double bed and freestanding furnishings.
Agent's thoughts:
This is a fantastic property which offers space, light and potential to add value to any purchaser. For commuters it is ideal as there is a secret walk-through from the back of the development which takes you directly to Preston Park Station in half the time of walking along the road.
Owner's secret
"We were immediately taken by how quiet it is here, and of course by the lovely views on this side of the building. You are also really well connected with the station nearby, but since lockdown we have been working from home which has worked well as the second bedroom is a great size with a private outlook over the communal lawn. We are moving out of the city due to work, but we are really going to miss it here."
