SHARE OF FREEHOLD

The images, floor plan do a fantastic job of showing you what’s on offer, however, some of the standout features include the following:


•The three tall windows that face onto the front garden along the bay window in the bedroom, flood the space with natural light.

•The front windows are westerly facing proving afternoon and evening sun in these rooms. All the windows were replaced in 2022 with UPVC double glazing, with the addition of shutters being fitted.

•A semi-open plan feeling as the kitchen is separated from the lounge by a door in the lounge, offering the potential to create a more open plan space (subject to any consent needed).

•Replaced kitchen units, wooden worktops, and breakfast bar.

•All appliances (fridge, freezer, gas hob, fan oven, and washing machine) have been replaced and will also come with this purchase of this property.

•Bathroom refurbished vanity unit, quartz-top basin, and steel bath. The bathroom also features built-in overhead storage which is very practical.

•The front door to the property has been replaced with a composite front door.

• Gas central heating.

• Upgraded fibre connection which is now brilliant for a home office.

•Outside space (shared) can fit a garden table and chairs to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun.

•SHARE OF FREEHOLD- a substantial benefit over leasehold-only properties as the owners have more control over how the building is maintained/managed. In this instance, they have agreed no regular service charge is needed. They carry out works on an as-and-when basis. As an example, the exterior of the property has been redecorated in 2021 which was jointly decided by the freeholders, and they chose the contractor they all agreed was best. The vendor also informs us there are 961 years remaining on the lease.
