Occupying the entire first floor with own private entrance and share of freehold. This beautifully presented property also has scope for further development with a large loft area.
KNIGHT & KNOXLEY are delighted to bring to market, this beautifully presented, two-bedroom maisonette. A private entrance door opens to a staircase, which rises to the first floor. The accommodation is arranged around a central hall, and the apartment is double-fronted, with both the living room and the principal bedroom arranged at the front of the property, to either side of the central staircase. The living room is a wonderful light room, thanks to the square bay window and double doors which open onto a balcony. This bright and spacious room also has wooden floors and a period fireplace and is currently decorated in a fresh white to give a clean contemporary look.
The main bedroom is of good proportions, extending almost four metres into the bay window, and the second bedroom is also spacious, with a window overlooking the garden. In the luxurious bathroom, you will find a double-ended bath, a separate walk-in shower, with a thermostatic shower in chrome, and both waterfall and hand-held shower heads. The handbasin is set in a shaker-style vanity unit, and the walls are in white metro tiles. The floor is a stone-effect tile. The bathroom also benefits from underfloor heating.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been superbly designed to give a long run of counter space, in solid wood, plenty of room for the integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer. There is a four-burner gas hob and a Neff electric fan oven. There is a charming seating area in front of the window, where the room widens, and from here a door leads to a lobby, which in turn opens to the stairs down to the garden.
Outside is a wonderful south-west facing, walled garden with a decked patio area, flower borders and a large bay tree. The property has a Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28 combination boiler, and there is a boarded loft for storage (suitable for conversion) with a pull-down ladder.
