Property description


With a paved front drive and a small private garden within a much larger south-facing rear garden, this one bedroom apartment has a generous amount of outdoor space. The apartment occupies the ground floor of a two-storey coach house attached to a grand four-storey detached Victorian villa with a grand entrance; set back from the road behind a high hedge it has a paved carriage drive. The house and coach house contain eight apartments; six in the main house and two in the coach house.

This ground floor apartment has its own entrance inside a small entrance lobby shared with the upper coach house apartment. This entrance opens into a long hallway with the open plan main living space straight ahead, and doors to the double bedroom, bathroom, and a walk-in cupboard. The décor is smart and fresh, with white walls, ceilings and woodwork, wood doors, wood floor, and downlighters.

The 19’4” by 14’5” open plan main room is spacious and light, easily accommodating lounge, dining and kitchen zones with the lounge space next to the window, the L-shaped kitchen to the rear, and the dining area in between. Wrapped around two walls, the kitchen comprises stylish matt white handleless wall and floor cabinets with integrated appliances and a low-profile white Quartz worktop, and a marbled splashback. A south-facing window provides lovely leafy garden views, and a glazed door leads down to the private section of the large, shared garden.

The approximately 13ft by 9ft double bedroom, which has views of the leafy front garden, has space for a kingsize bed and bedroom furniture, and the walk-in cupboard in the hallway opposite provides convenient storage space. The hotel-style bathroom has luxurious gold and white décor, including marbled large format floor and wall tiles, white sanitaryware (a bath with a thermostatic shower, a washbasin console, and a wall-hung WC), and a matt gold heated towel rail and ironmongery. A small high-level window provides good natural light and ventilation

Externally, it has outdoor private space to the front (a section of the paved drive) and the rear (a section of the rear garden). The private section of the front drive is L-shaped and extends to 23ft by 19’8”, providing off-street parking. Residents can also apply for a street parking permit. The private rear garden is a 10’9” by 9’2” area situated just five steps down from the rear of the apartment. The beauty of this small private garden is that it’s south-facing and has an open outlook over the rest of the very large garden that’s divided into private and shared spaces for the other apartments.

The apartment comes with a new 999-year lease, no ground rent, and a current year service charge of £2,760.

Offered chain free.
