Ravenscroft House, Ravenscroft Gardens

A stunning top floor apartment within a prestigious development, enjoying far reaching views. As well as a quality finish and a tremendous amount of space, the property is served by a lift and features allocated parking and a convenient ground floor store room.

Once one of the town’s most exclusive roads, Hilperton Road was home to a selection of large palatial residences which have since been split into several smaller homes that remain impressive in their own right. Ravenscroft House would have been among the most striking of these gorgeous buildings and went on to serve as a care home before the 2020 conversion to what we see today. Found on the top floor, this outstanding apartment enjoys a bright and spacious dual aspect lounge-diner with superb views from one of the highest points of the town. The kitchen boasts an integrated fridge-freezer as well as a slimline dishwasher, double oven and under lighting. A useful utility room serves as a superb extra space with plumbing for a washing machine and additional fitted units.

Bedroom one is an amazing size with dual aspect windows, bespoke Sharps fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double bedroom with a pleasing view across the town whilst bedroom three could still accommodate a double bed and features a built in wardrobe. Completing the apartment is the exuberantly spacious bathroom which has a bath, separate double shower, wash hand basin, WC and generous storage cupboard.

The communal hallway has stairs to each floor as well as an air conditioned lift. On the lower ground floor there is a communal reception room with shower room and communal storage as well as a separate store room for each property. This property boasts 2 allocated parking spaces in the car park to the front with additional visitor spaces.

We have been advised that the property has a 999 year lease from 2020 with a nominal ground rent and a service charge which is currently around £1,400 a year. To ensure management fees remain fair, management of the building is arranged internally with two residents serving as directors of the management company.
