Grenfell Gardens, Colne, BB8

A beautifully presented Two-bedroom ground floor apartment. Offered with no onward chain. This elegant Ground floor apartment is set within Derwent House, an impressive conversion of an Edwardian grammar school forming part of the highly regarded Grenfell gardens development in Colne. The community houses 23 generously sized apartments, creating a secure and peaceful environment where letting is not permitted.

Access is via electronically operated gates leading to a private underground car park, providing both residents and visitors with convenient parking. Each property also benefits from its own lockable storage unit. A video entry intercom system adds further peace of mind, ensuring safe and easy access for guests and deliveries alike.

Internally the apartment is finished to a high standard throughout, combining modern style with a spacious and comfortable layout. The internal rooms consist of an entrance hallway, two double bedrooms (including a master with a shower room and bedroom two with an ensuite shower room), a guest W/C, a spacious open plan kitchen/living/dining area, a separate utility room, and fixed vanity units.

Entrance:
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway featuring composite wood flooring throughout. The space includes a radiator and a storage cupboard, currently fitted with hooks but with potential for shelving; it also houses the consumer unit. Inset LED lighting runs along the hallway, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. There is ample space for a console table, plants, or other decorative touches. The hallway provides access to the kitchen, living/dining room, both double bedrooms, and a separate W/C.
