Description
An attractive and well-appointed one-bedroom ground floor apartment, forming part of an established and well-maintained development in the heart of Downton village. Horseshoe Court offers a rare combination of convenience and tranquillity, with immediate access to local amenities while enjoying a peaceful setting.
The property is offered to the market with no onward chain and benefits from a recently extended lease of approximately 189 years, making it an appealing and straightforward purchase.
The apartment benefits from both a communal entrance and its own private front door, providing an added sense of independence. Internally, the accommodation is well arranged and presented in a fresh, neutral style, having been recently updated with new carpets and a modernised bathroom. A spacious entrance hall welcomes you into the property, complete with two generous built-in storage cupboards, offering excellent practicality.
The sitting/dining room is a particularly appealing space, filled with natural light from the front aspect windows and centred around a decorative fireplace, creating a comfortable and versatile area for both relaxation and entertaining. The adjoining kitchen is well designed, fitted with a range of matching wall and base units complemented by a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for essential appliances, while a built-in breakfast bar provides an informal dining area or additional workspace, enhancing both functionality and flow.
The double bedroom is well proportioned and enjoys a pleasant front aspect, with ample space for freestanding furniture. The bathroom has been recently updated and is finished in a clean, contemporary style, comprising a panelled bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.
Externally, the property benefits from an allocated off-road parking space, along with additional visitor parking. To the rear, residents have access to beautifully maintained communal gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and established planting. These gardens enjoy delightful views across the neighbouring water meadows, creating a particularly tranquil and scenic setting.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a low-maintenance, move-in ready home in a desirable village location, combining practicality with a peaceful outlook and strong sense of community.
