OWNER INSIGHT

"Our parents bought the flat for a family member to live in, and previously it was their solicitor's mum's home so we knew it must have been a clean legal title! The property has more latterly been a rental investment, but we're not looking to be long term landlords now that our dad has passed away and mum in care, and feel it's time for new owner to take it into the next chapter. The private garden could be amazing, and a blank canvas for anyone with passion and green fingers. Our family were also attracted by the easy walk to St Marychurch, where you have so everything close at hand."

STEP INSIDE

A pedestrian gate and pathway approaches the property, with seven steps to the Georgian style front door. The VESTIBULE with inner glazed door opens to the RECEPTION HALL, with two deep storage cupboards. The SITTING ROOM is an attractive room with dual aspect enjoying twin windows overlooking the private garden and further window to the side. The KITCHEN would now benefit from general modernisation, currently offering range of base cupboards and wall mounted cabinets, work tops with inset sink, provisions for electric cooker, fridge/freezer and slimline dishwasher. Ideal Logic+ boiler and window to the rear. BEDROOM 1 is a generous double room with a view to the rear. BEDROOM 2 is a smaller double with picture window overlooking the private garden. The BATHROOM is fitted with a panelled bath having shower attachment taps, wash hand basin and WC. Work top with under counter provisions for washing machine and dryer, obscure glazed window.

STEP OUTSIDE
