The living room
At the heart of this fantastic apartment is a hugely impressive living room which is incredibly spacious and floods with light from two sash windows.

Period features abound throughout this room, including a fireplace with marble surround and carved mantlepiece in addition to coving, ceiling rose and two delightful colannades.

The thoughtfully designed kitchen has been beautifully refitted by the current owners and makes excellent use of the available space, featuring light dove grey shaker style units complemented by white quartz worksurfaces. Fitted appliances include an oven and hob with extractor above. A stylish designer radiator and downlighters add a contemporary finish, while a charming window seat provides the perfect place to enjoy the pleasant outlook across the rear grounds.

Bedroom one
The principal bedroom is bright and inviting, featuring a standalone wardrobe to keep the room both practical and uncluttered. A large window allows plenty of natural light to flood in, creating a welcoming and restful atmosphere.

Bedroom two
Bedroom two is an adaptable space with views towards the rear of the property. A standalone wardrobe provides excellent practicality, while its versatile layout lends itself equally well to use as a guest bedroom or study.

The bathroom & cloakroom
The bathroom is appointed with a modern suite, featuring a walk-in shower with a marble-effect surround. A stylish vanity unit, bluetooth mirror and chrome heated towel rail add to the room’s practical yet sophisticated finish. The flat also benefits from a cloakroom near the entrance for added convenience or for guests.

The entrance hall
This apartment is accessed through the wonderful hallway of the main building which features a secure doorway and is centred around a stunning period staircase. Then once through the front door of the apartment you enter a useful hallway with doors leading to the living room, utility room and cloakroom/WC.

The garages
The apartment benefits from allocated parking for two vehicles directly outside the main entrance, together with an additional visitors' parking space. A particular advantage is the pair of adjoining single garages, positioned within a courtyard to the left of the building and directly bordering the private garden. In addition to providing excellent parking and storage, one of the garages offers exciting potential for conversion into a garden room, bar or hobby space, subject to any necessary consents.

The private garden
A particular feature of the apartment is its generous private garden, a rarity for a property of this type. Situated beyond the garages, this secluded outdoor space enjoys a peaceful setting with a mature wooded glade beyond the boundary, creating an attractive backdrop and a wonderful sense of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, it provides an ideal setting for entertaining, al fresco dining or simply relaxing outdoors.

Fees

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.

4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained.

This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
