About
A spacious and well-presented two double bedroom top floor apartment, located within the sought-after Longacres development in Brackla.
Built in 2007 by Redrow, this generous apartment benefits from excellent privacy, with no rooms directly adjoining neighbouring properties.
The property is situated within a small block serving just two apartments via a communal entrance and includes two allocated parking spaces positioned beneath the adjacent coach house.
Internally, the accommodation comprises a bright kitchen/diner, spacious lounge, two double bedrooms, bathroom, and entrance hall with storage.
The maintenance charge includes buildings insurance, cleaning and window maintenance of communal areas, grounds maintenance and contingency funding.
Planned improvements funded by the contingency reserve include new communal carpets and redecoration scheduled for March 2026.
An ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a generously sized apartment in a popular residential location.
The property is accessed via a communal entrance and staircase shared by just two apartments, leading into a welcoming entrance hall finished with vinyl flooring and benefiting from a handy storage cupboard and telephone intercom system.
Doors provide access to the lounge, kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The lounge is a generous sized reception room featuring fitted carpet and a window overlooking the rear, creating a comfortable and relaxing living environment.
The kitchen/diner is a particularly bright and spacious area, fitted with a range of base, wall and drawer units complemented by laminate work surfaces, partly tiled walls and vinyl flooring.
There is a built-in electric oven with gas hob and extractor fan. Three windows flood the room with natural light.
Additional features include a 1.5 bowl sink unit, side shelving, space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. A Main Eco Compact combination boiler is housed within a cupboard.
The layout comfortably accommodates a dining area, making this an ideal social space.
The main bedroom is a spacious double room with a rear-facing window, fitted carpet, and built-in wardrobes providing plenty of hanging and storage space, with ample room for additional bedroom furniture.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the front of the property and finished with fitted carpet.
The bathroom comprises a double shower cubicle with thermostatic shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC, complemented by partly tiled walls, vinyl flooring, and a rear-facing obscured window allowing natural light while maintaining privacy.
Externally, the apartment benefits from two allocated parking spaces accessed beneath the coach house to the side of the building.
The maintenance charge is approximately £196 pcm and covers the buildings insurance, communal cleaning and window cleaning, maintenance of the area and contribution towards contingency funds.
(Planned communal improvements, including new carpets and redecoration, are scheduled for March 2026 and will be funded from these reserves).
