A large sash window above the sink provides a picturesque view of the gardens and hills beyond, creating a serene backdrop. The south-facing living area is bathed in sunlight, offering a perfect spot to relax, while the dado rail adds charm and character. With windows lining the open plan living space, you’re treated to panoramic views from every angle.

The family bathroom is conveniently located off the hallway and is fully tiled, featuring a shower with an overhead shower, sink, and w/c. Recently renovated to a modern standard, it offers a sleek and contemporary design. The guest bedroom comes with built-in wardrobes and serves as an excellent home office space.

Outside, the property benefits from its own garage and an allocated parking space, with additional visitor parking and on-street parking available as needed. The communal grounds contribute to the welcoming sense of community at Barrington Grange. The lawned area, complete with an outbuilding and a mature tree, is a popular BBQ spot and features picnic benches for relaxed outdoor dining on sunny days, perfect for enjoying the surrounding scenery. The walled garden features a vast variety of mature plants, carefully curated to create what looks like a garden of a stately home.

Additional benefits of the property include a communal gym, which is free for use by the residents of Barrington Grange. 

Tenure - Each owner at Barrington Grange owns an equal share of the freehold, alongside their existing leasehold interests, which remain unchanged. This arrangement has been in place since around 2004, when the residents, through Barrington Grange Management (Powick) Ltd, collectively purchased the freehold. The acquisition was made possible by an exclusive option agreement, which granted the management company the sole right to buy the freehold from its original owner, CPM Securities. The purchase price for each property was calculated at ten times its annual ground rent. When Barrington Grange was converted by Bovis Homes and completed in 2001, all 16 properties were initially sold on 999-year leases, with the freehold retained by CPM Securities.

Service Charge – £153.00 per month - The service charge includes building insurance, garden maintenance, lift servicing, fire safety equipment checks, external painting every four years, gutter clearing, external window cleaning, bin cleaning, as well as the cleaning and upkeep of the gym and car park.
