About
The Sellers View What we have loved most about living here is the real sense of community. With only three other flats in the block, it has always felt friendly, peaceful and welcoming.
Neighbours are genuinely helpful and there is a lovely atmosphere, whether that is taking in parcels or keeping an eye on things while someone is away.
The location has been brilliant too, with great local amenities nearby and lovely walks just a short distance from the door. We have also really appreciated the outdoor space and extra storage.
Having both a private shed and a communal shed has been incredibly useful, while the garden is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy some fresh air during the warmer months.
Inside, the flat feels both spacious and cosy. The high ceilings and bay window in the lounge bring in plenty of natural light and create a wonderful place to sit with a morning coffee.
There is also a large walk in cupboard, perfect for storing bulkier household items such as hoovers and everyday essentials. It has been a wonderful home and a fantastic place to live.
The Agents View This is a beautifully presented and surprisingly spacious one bedroom ground floor apartment, set within an attractive Edwardian conversion on Park Lane.
Inside, the main reception space comfortably accommodates both living and dining areas, with an open flow through to the modern kitchen, creating a sociable and practical layout.
Just off the kitchen is a really useful utility and storage area, a rare feature for an apartment like this and incredibly handy for everyday living.
The bedroom is a great size and includes a fitted wardrobe, while the current owner has also created a desk space which works brilliantly for home working.
Equally, this area could be used for additional storage if preferred. The bathroom is modern, well presented and offers good space too.
Outside, there is on the driveway, while the west facing rear garden provides a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
There are multiple seating areas, a large communal storage shed and also a private shed currently used by the seller as a home gym.
Overall, this apartment feels light, spacious and full of character, blending charming period features with modern touches. It would make an ideal first home or an excellent buy to let investment.
