This CHAIN-FREE first floor apartment enjoys a pleasant open outlook towards Ilsham Valley and forms part of a well-regarded development offering lift access to all floors, resident facilities and attractive communal areas.

The Approach

The property can be approached either from the visitor parking area situated off Asheldon Road, or from the main residents’ parking area, where the apartment’s car port is located. Positioned on the first floor, the apartment is served by both stairs and lift access, providing a convenient route from the communal entrance. Upon entering the apartment, a welcoming hallway provides access to the principal accommodation. The hall is neutrally presented and offers a practical first impression, with an entry phone system, a separate meter cupboard, and a built-in cupboard housing the hot water cylinder with shelving beneath. The layout provides a clear and functional flow through to the adjoining rooms, while the overall presentation is light, tidy and well maintained.

Living Room & Balcony

The living room is a generously proportioned reception space, enjoying a bright and open feel courtesy of a large window and sliding patio doors leading directly onto the balcony. The room is neutrally presented and offers excellent flexibility for both sitting and dining arrangements, with ample space for freestanding furniture. The adjoining covered balcony provides a pleasant outdoor seating area, finished with artificial grass and enclosed by a low wall and railing. From here, there are attractive outlooks over the surrounding trees, neighbouring residences and the wider hillside beyond, creating a particularly pleasant setting to enjoy from both inside and outside the apartment.

Kitchen

The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, complemented by light work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. The layout makes good use of the available space, incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer positioned beneath the window, which enjoys a pleasant leafy outlook. Integrated appliances include an oven with ceramic hob above, along with an integrated dishwasher, tall fridge/freezer and washing machine. Additional cupboard storage and worktop space provide practical day-to-day use, while the neutral finish and tiled flooring create a clean, bright and functional kitchen area.

Bedroom and Bathroom

The bedroom is a well-proportioned and neutrally presented room, enjoying a pleasant leafy outlook through a large window. There is ample space for freestanding bedroom furniture, while mirrored fitted wardrobes provide useful built-in storage and help enhance the sense of light and space within the room. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC. The room is finished with tiled walls and flooring, creating a practical and easy-to-maintain space.
