2 bed flat for sale

Brackley Road, Beckenham BR3

This well-proportioned two-bedroom second-floor apartment at Chartwell Lodge on Brackley Road offers approximately 572 sq ft (53.1 sq m) of accommodation, together with a private balcony, allocated parking and a share of the freehold. Set within a gated development of just 16 apartments with CCTV, the property has recently been redecorated throughout and is particularly well suited to buyers looking for a conveniently positioned home with the opportunity to update the kitchen and bathroom to their own taste.

The reception room is a generous 15'2 x 11'5, providing ample space for both sitting and dining areas. French doors open directly onto the private balcony, bringing additional natural light into the room and providing valuable outside space.

The reception room leads into the separate kitchen, measuring approximately 9'9 x 6'1. The kitchen remains largely in its original specification and provides an opportunity for a new owner to modernise the space according to their own requirements, while its separate arrangement keeps the main living and dining area distinct.

Bedroom one is a well-proportioned double measuring approximately 14'11 into the bay x 8'6 max. The bay adds both character and additional floor space, with the room providing space for a double bed and further bedroom furniture.

Bedroom two measures approximately 11'9 x 6' and offers useful flexibility, working equally well as a second bedroom, guest room or home office.

The bathroom measures approximately 7'11 x 6'2 and is fitted with a bath, basin and WC. As with the kitchen, it offers scope for future updating. The entrance hall also incorporates useful built-in storage.

The apartment has recently been repainted throughout, with new carpets being fitted ahead of the sale. New electric radiators have also been installed throughout. The property is fully electric, with no gas supply, and benefits from a Megaflo hot-water system which the owner advises is serviced annually.

Chartwell Lodge comprises 16 apartments within a gated development with CCTV. There is no lift within the building. Outside, the property benefits from an allocated parking space positioned to the rear of the development.

Tenure. Share of freehold, with approximately 900 years remaining on the underlying lease. The vendor advises that the service charge is approximately £1,200 per annum, with no ground rent payable. Buyers should ask their solicitor to verify all tenure and service charge information.
