Believed to date back to circa 1820 the property is one of five apartments converted in 2004. A true feature to the sale is the property’s highly convenient and private position, located at the heart of Mickleover village centre. The apartment is set within delightful communal gardens which are extremely well-tended offering pleasant views and seating areas.

The property is accessed via a secure, communal entrance hall with impressive wood parquet flooring. A private entrance door gives access to an L-shaped hallway, large drawing room with feature fireplace and bay window with views over the grounds. There is a fabulous garden room off the lounge with access to a private courtyard. There is a fitted breakfast kitchen with granite worktops and some integrated appliances, a large principle bedroom with study and a well-appointed bathroom off, a further double bedroom and a separate shower room.

Your attention is drawn to the period features throughout including high ceilings, coving to ceiling, dado rails, ceiling roses and double glazed sash windows with original shutters to the principle reception room.
