An enormous private rear garden, two off-road parking spaces and original Art Deco features make this one-bedroom apartment on Oliver Road a particularly appealing opportunity. Offered with no onward chain and a share of the freehold, with a lease extension to 999 years currently in progress, the property combines character, practical features and potential to adapt the accommodation in the future.

The apartment retains a collection of original features, including a wooden and tiled fireplace, 1930s doors and Bakelite hardware. These details give the interior a distinctive identity, while attractive bay windows complement the property’s character. For buyers who appreciate the craftsmanship and style of homes from this period, there is plenty here to enjoy.

The bedroom benefits from a built-in double wardrobe combination, providing useful storage and helping maximise the available floor space. Full gas central heating, served by a combi boiler, and uPVC double-glazed windows add everyday comfort and practicality.

The fully fitted kitchen includes plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer with a power socket. A door opens directly from the kitchen into the private rear garden, making it convenient to step outside with a morning coffee or take meals outdoors during the warmer months.

The enormous garden is a standout feature, offering an impressive amount of private outside space for a one-bedroom apartment. Designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, it incorporates artificial grass, patio paving and decorative pebbles, with a paved pathway leading to a decking area and wooden garden shed. The layout provides a choice of spaces for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining, alongside useful external storage. Fully private and accessed directly from the kitchen, the garden forms a substantial extension of the home’s usable space.

The property also benefits from both front and rear access, adding convenience when bringing through bicycles, shopping or garden items. Two off-road car parking spaces are another significant advantage, offering an unusual and valuable provision for an apartment of this size.

There is also potential to explore conversion and extension to create a two-bedroom property, subject to the necessary permissions, consents and building regulations approval. This offers an additional point of interest for purchasers seeking a home with scope to evolve alongside their needs.
