Characterful Two Double Bedroom Apartment with Private Entrance | Arranged Over Two Floors | No Onward Chain

Situated within the highly sought-after village of Charlton Down, this unique two double bedroom property occupies part of the impressive Greenwood House, one of the distinguished Victorian buildings that formed the former Herrison Hospital site. Offering its own private entrance, accommodation arranged over two floors and access to beautifully maintained communal grounds, this charming home combines period character with modern convenience and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Approached via attractive covered stone steps, the property enjoys a private front entrance, creating a welcoming sense of individuality rarely found in apartment living. With no property directly above or below, the home offers the feel of a traditional house while retaining the benefits of a leasehold property.

The accommodation is both spacious and light-filled, enhanced by high ceilings and large sash windows that reflect the building's Victorian heritage. The ground floor comprises an inviting sitting room enjoying a south-westerly aspect, allowing natural light to flood the space throughout the afternoon and evening. A striking central stone fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating a warm and comfortable living environment. The fitted kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, together with a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, while the entrance hallway completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, there are two generously sized bedrooms, both bright and airy in character. The principal bedroom benefits from the convenience of an en-suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is served by a well-appointed family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite.

Externally, residents enjoy access to extensive landscaped communal gardens which are beautifully maintained throughout the year. Mature trees, well-kept lawns and seating areas create a peaceful setting in which to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property also benefits from ample residents' parking and a discreet communal refuse storage area.
