About
Situated in a highly sought-after location just a short walk from Royston Town Centre, the railway station, and the scenic Heath, this beautifully presented one-bedroom first-floor maisonette has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners and is being sold with no upward chain, making for a smooth and prompt transaction.
Accessed via its own private entrance, the home features a welcoming entrance hall with stairs leading to a spacious landing area, which includes a useful storage cupboard and loft access.
The well-proportioned lounge/diner offers a comfortable and light-filled living space, with a double-glazed window overlooking the rear and a radiator for warmth.
The re-fitted kitchen is a standout feature, stylishly finished with integrated appliances including an oven, hob, and fridge-freezer, set within modern base units and complementary work surfaces.
A stainless steel sink with mixer tap and a rear-facing double-glazed window complete the space.
The generous double bedroom is located at the front of the property and benefits from twin built-in storage cupboards, a radiator, and a large double-glazed window.
The modern bathroom has also been re-fitted to a high standard, comprising a large walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC, and wash hand basin set into a sleek vanity unit, with wall tiling, towel radiator, and a side-facing double-glazed window.
Externally, the maisonette enjoys the advantage of its own private rear garden, bordered by mature trees that offer a sense of seclusion and greenery.
Residents parking is available to the side of the property, further adding to the convenience. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and location of this superb home.
