Greenfields Lodge, Ferma Lane, Great Barrow

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, VIEWING ESSENTIAL Excellently presented first floor apartment with off road parking, good energy efficiency rating, low council tax and part of a stylish development for over 55's.
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

My client has thoroughly enjoyed living in this super first floor apartment but has now decided to relocate to Norfolk to be near his family. Accordingly he is a motivated seller and has priced this apartment at a notably attractive price in order to capture the interest of the market. In addition, there is no ongoing chain.

This is a terrific first floor apartment in Great Barrow, a really lovely option for those over 55 seeking an excellent value residential apartment and a peaceful setting. It is located within a small and select development that offers a tranquil setting adjoining countryside (the aspects are wonderful) yet also within walking distance of the village which has a pub and Church amongst other attractions.

The apartment benefits from allocated off road parking and a lovely external area accessed directly from the apartment, ideal for a enjoying a coffee or even al fresco dining.

The apartment has a warm, inviting and attractive atmosphere and is in really good order, ready to be moved into. It also has large windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

The modern and well-equipped Kitchen is located just off the main living dining room area, providing a really appealing open plan area overall. The living room area has a fireplace as its focal point whilst the kitchen, with its modern appliances, is a haven for those who appreciate intelligent design with aesthetic appeal.

This lovely apartment features two bedrooms, one being a comfortable double with fitted wardrobe and the other a practical single. The bathroom offers convenience with built-in storage and a heated towel rail.

This property is ideal for a single person or retired couples over 55's looking for a high quality retreat and there is a strong sense of community and village identity in this setting. Other key benefits include an above average EPC rating of C and a low Council Tax, band B. Both these favourable economic factors being of increasing importance.
