About this home
A spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat with the rare advantage of a private rear garden, representing an excellent opportunity. The property also benefits from a new roof with approximately 8 years remaining on the warranty, along with updated gutters, fascias and chimney works.
The property provides generous and well-proportioned accommodation throughout, beginning with a large and welcoming lounge featuring a generous bay-style window, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room. The wood-effect flooring adds warmth and creates a comfortable space for relaxing and entertaining.
The good-sized fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units, ample worktop space and room for a dining table, making this a practical and sociable part of the home. There is also space and plumbing for appliances.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom particularly impressive in size and benefiting from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage. The second bedroom is also a good size and offers flexibility as a bedroom, home office or guest room.
The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin with useful vanity storage, complemented by modern wall tiling and wood-effect flooring.
One of the property's standout features is the private enclosed rear garden. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden offers a generous amount of outdoor space, with a raised timber deck providing an ideal seating area for relaxing or entertaining during the warmer months.
The property is freehold, and an important feature of the sale is that the successful purchaser will also acquire the freehold of the downstairs flat. This means the purchaser will own the freehold of the building and will become the freeholder for both the first-floor property and the ground-floor flat.
The property also benefits from a new roof with approximately 8 years remaining on the warranty, together with updated gutters, fascias and chimney works, providing useful reassurance regarding a number of the property's key external elements.
Offering generous accommodation, two good-sized bedrooms, excellent storage, a private rear garden, recently upgraded roofing and external elements, and the additional benefit of owning the freehold of the downstairs flat, this presents an interesting opportunity.
