About this home
Keith Ian are pleased to present this beautifully presented two-bedroom flat, set within the historic Octagon in Ware and offered to the market CHAIN FREE. The Octagon has an interesting history, having originally formed part of Ware Union Workhouse, which was built in the 1830s to serve the local area. The building later became known as Western House before undergoing extensive conversion in the 1990s, when it was sympathetically transformed into 33 residential apartments and opened as The Octagon in 1995. The development retains much of the character and architectural presence of its historic past, whilst providing modern and practical accommodation. The generous open-plan reception room and kitchen provide an excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining, with large windows allowing plenty of natural light. The modern kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, integrated appliances and warm wooden worktops. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with large windows, fitted storage and plush carpeting. The contemporary bathroom is finished with white tiling, a bath with integrated shower and heated towel rail. A useful reading nook with built-in shelving provides an additional versatile space. Externally, the property benefits from landscaped communal grounds with mature trees and a well-maintained covered parking space. The combination of historic surroundings, modern accommodation and a peaceful setting makes this an attractive home for professionals, couples or those looking for a well-presented and low-maintenance property.
