Description

Watermans is delighted to present to market this '25% Share' property. Please Note - The monthly rental payment for the 75% rented is currently around £394.06 (including factoring fees).

Nestled beside Colinton Mains Park with delightful views over it, this charming two-bedroom third-floor flat forms part of a popular development with a sought-after location. It is brought to market in excellent decorative order, enjoying bright and airy accommodation that is neutrally presented – the ideal aesthetic for new buyers. It has a quality kitchen and bathroom, as well as a private balcony and excellent storage to keep the interiors tidy. Please note, the property is on the market as a 25% share sale with Wheatley Homes who own the remaining 75%. The monthly rental payment for the 75% rented is currently around £394.06 (including factoring fees). Any buyer would need to be pre-approved by the Housing Association and meet their criteria.

Reached via a secure telephone-entry system and shared stairwell, the flat’s front door opens with a wonderful first impression into a hall with neutral styling and a wood-toned floor. It offers generous built-in storage flowing through to the living/dining room. Here, the attractive styling continues, providing new buyers with a sought-after blank canvas. There is plenty of room for lounge and dining furniture, as well as dual-aspect glazing for a light-filled ambience. Furthermore, the space extends out onto a private balcony with lovely elevated views. Openly accessed from the living area, the kitchen is fitted with wood-hued cabinets and stone-inspired worktops, backed by a neat line of white splashback tiles. It is a popular design that offers practicality and style. It comes with an integrated oven, gas hob, and slimline extractor hood, with a freestanding fridge/freezer and a washing machine also included. Meanwhile, the two bedrooms mirror the aesthetic of the living area, adding to the light and airy ambience. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, which enjoys a bold feature wall for an extra splash of colour. It also has a walk-in wardrobe and a built-in wardrobe for ample clothes storage. The second bedroom is a versatile single that has a built-in wardrobe and additional storage. Finishing the home is a three-piece bathroom with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, there is a well-kept communal garden and drying green, offering lots of space for relaxing in the sun. Colinton Mains Park is just a stone’s throw away as well, providing vast playing greens and a child’s playpark. Parking in the area is on street and unrestricted.
