About
It’s fairly obvious that this ground floor maisonette needs updating, but see past the required redecoration and floor coverings and you could end up with what feels like 'bungalow type' living situated just off the village centre.
So if you're looking to downsize in Barrow upon Soar or relocate to be nearer to family, then with a little imagination this property could be the one for you!
The accommodation offers generous size rooms complete with UPVC double glazing and gas central heating (combi boiler) and even has its own rear garden and front driveway which is rare for a property of this nature.
You enter through a central hallway, with useful airing cupboard and additional store cupboard, and into a front facing generous lounge which has a large bay window flooding the room with light and gas fireplace.
The kitchen is to the rear and has plumbing for washing machine, gas and electric cooker points, space for a small breakfast table/bar and rear entrance door leading out onto a shared paved patio with the maisonette at first floor, and beyond here a dedicated grass garden area owned solely by No.8.
There are two double bedrooms making this a great option for visiting grandchildren or guests, and completing the living space is a white showroom with Myra mixer shower and mobility style shower seat.
The location is great, situated just around the corner from a range of High Street shops, Doctors surgery and Midland mainline railway as well as countryside walks nearby.
The property is leasehold with a lease length of 125 years with approx 91 years left unexpired. Ground Rent is £10 per annum, April to April.
Annual Service charge is £417.88 (25/26) and is paid quarterly at £104.47 To find the property; Sat nav postcode: LE12 8HW - What3Words: ///noting.snail.amplifier EPC Rating: D Bedroom 2 3.6m x 2.7m Shower Room 2.34m x 2.02m Kitchen 2.49m x 3.05m Bedroom 1 3.42m x 3.63m Lounge 3.63m x 4.28m
