About
A particularly spacious and characterful one-bedroom ground floor maisonette , offering almost 600 sq ft of accommodation , together with its own driveway, private garden, share of freehold and no regular service charge The property has a great sense of space throughout.
To the front is an impressive 18ft reception/dining room , with a large bay window providing plenty of natural light and ample room for separate living and dining areas.
Period-style detailing and attractive archways add character, while the layout flows through to a modern fitted kitchen with direct access towards the rear.
The bedroom is another standout feature, measuring approximately 15'7" x 11'3" , with an additional bay overlooking the garden which works particularly well as a seating, dressing or home-working area.
There is also a good-sized bathroom with a full-size bath and shower, along with useful additional storage.
Outside, the property benefits from something rarely found with a one-bedroom flat: Its own private rear garden and off-street parking to the front Combined with its own entrance, generous proportions and ground floor position, it feels far more like a small house than a typical apartment.
Offered with a share of freehold and no regular service charge , this is an appealing option for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a home with space, outside space and lower ongoing costs.
