Built c.2010 this attractive red brick block has guest parking to the front and the apartment comes with two allocated spaces (plus private storage) in the gated underground garage.
The well maintained exterior is attractively landscaped and has a pretty garden to the rear.
This third floor penthouse is reached via a lift, accessed from the ground floor or garage level.
Stepping into the apartment you will immediately be struck by its size and the beautiful oak finish flooring and doors. The entrance hall has a guest cloakroom and a large storage cupboard. Storage throughout the apartment is significant which is a particularly valuable feature.
Your eye will be drawn to the massive triple aspect kitchen/reception room ahead. This extends to 51’ stretching the full width of the apartment (wonderful for entertaining) with windows to each side and a feature double glazed bank of windows and doors to the front, which open to the covered balcony. Here there is space for a table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy the location.
The room naturally falls in three sections.
The kitchen (which has recently been painted in Farrow & Ball paint) is to one side where there is a substantial range of contemporary handleless floor and wall units topped with a ‘floating’ bevelled edge black speckled quartz surface which extends to create a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, double oven, electric hob, extractor hood and washer/dryer.
The centre section is perfect for a large dining suite to be set in front of the balcony doors with ample room for a sideboard, shelving and other furniture as well.
The sitting area to the other side is a large space which can easily accommodate lounge seating and more furniture.
Three large eaves cupboards provide a massive amount of accessible storage. With so much room and this level of storage the apartment has a sense of calm for very enjoyable day-to-day living.
The principal bedroom is a significant size and the layout lends itself to creating a study/work from home area which doesn’t impinge on the rest of the room. A wall of bespoke wardrobes have recently been fitted by a local carpenter and another easily accessed eaves cuboard provide considerable storage space.
The half tiled en suite has a contemporary Ideal Standard Sottini Delineo suite including a bath with hand held shower and there is a separate shower cubicle. Light pours in from the large skylight and a wall mirror, display shelf and heated towel rail are additional details.
The second bedroom inlcudes fitted wardrobes and there is an en suite shower room with a Velux window to bring in the light. The white suite includes a wall hung basin, a shower cubicle and there is a wall mirror and heated towel rail.
Other highlights include:
- The aparment is virtually a stand alone unit with only a very small portion connecting to its neighbour
- Phone entry system
- The ceilings are a good height and all the space is fully useable
- On trend light fittings are a feature and are inlcuded throughout
- All window dressings are inlcuded
- Other facilities on the doorstep inlcude further eateries, a hairdressers, a pharmacy/GP/dentist, dry cleaners and the very popular modern Costcutter with Post Office
- Heating is via electric panel heaters which are clean and convenient without the need to maintain a boiler
