2 bed Flat For Sale £495,000
HEADLINE DESCRIPTION
This stylish apartment is set on the first floor of this handsome, Victorian manor house, being the only apartment accessed by the fabulous sweeping staircase. The communal entrance really is exceptional, with stunning period features creating a feeling of grandeur as you walk in, with beautiful stained-glass windows, mosaic tiled flooring, marble and decorative plaster, together with a wonderful domed rooflight. An unusual benefit of living within this gated development, is not only the extensive communal grounds of approximately 4 acres in total, but also, rather conveniently, the use of a well-equipped residents’ gym within the building.
FIRST FLOOR
The L-shaped entrance hall is welcoming with a cleverly created study space, perfect for occasions when working from home and the attractive wood flooring also runs through into the kitchen and sitting room. A beautiful marble fireplace is the main focal point in the sitting/dining room, with bespoke cabinetry creating useful storage to either side. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with white contemporary-style units with integrated appliances including an oven, microwave, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and a fridge/freezer is also included. There are two generous double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes providing plenty of storage and the master bedroom also having an en-suite shower room as well as there being a separate family shower room with built-in storage beneath the basin. The apartment has wonderfully high ceilings with tall windows and the gas central heating has been upgraded with heritage-style cast iron radiators.
OUTSIDE
The apartment comes with not only two allocated parking spaces to the front of the building, but also a double garage which has power and light connected. A large paved terrace is for communal use although the residents have informally divided the area to enable each apartment to have their own patio set for summer barbecues which allows you to really enjoy the communal garden for entertaining friends and family. In total, the grounds within the gated development amass to approximately 4 acres with large sweeping lawns and mature shrubs and trees.
