Two-Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment For Sale in Monksmoor, Daventry, Northamptonshire.

Full Property Description

If you are looking for a contemporary, stylish apartment with plenty of space, natural light and countryside views, this lovely two-bedroom ground floor home on the popular Monksmoor development in Daventry is certainly worth a look.

Built in 2022 and occupied by the current owner, this well-designed apartment offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bright and spacious open-plan living area and allocated parking, all in a location that combines modern living with easy access to the countryside.

Whether you are a first-time buyer looking to get onto the property ladder, someone wanting the convenience of single-storey living, or simply after a lock-up-and-leave home, there is plenty to like here.

And with allocated parking as well as visitor spaces, that is another practical box ticked.

The Building

Before we even get inside the apartment, there are a couple of things worth mentioning.

The communal areas are particularly clean, tidy and well maintained, which always makes a good first impression.

There is a secure entrance system for visitors and a handy fob entry system for residents.

What we also like is that only four apartments share this particular entrance, so you haven't got a constant stream of people coming and going.

Being on the ground floor is another real benefit, particularly if you are looking to avoid stairs or simply want somewhere convenient and easy to live in.

The Apartment Itself

Step inside and you are welcomed by a surprisingly spacious entrance hallway, which immediately gives you a sense of the accommodation on offer.

There is a generous storage cupboard which doubles as a utility area, neatly housing the washing machine and keeping all the practical bits out of sight - it's a small detail, but one that makes a real difference when you are trying to keep your living space clutter-free.

The real heart of this home is the contemporary open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

This is a lovely bright space which has been thoughtfully designed to give each area its own identity without losing that open and sociable feel.

The modern kitchen has stylish white units, contrasting work surfaces, integrated appliances and plenty of cupboard and drawer space. There is ample room for a dining table, making it a practical space whether you are grabbing breakfast before work or entertaining friends.

What is particularly clever is the way the flooring defines the different areas. The kitchen has practical hard flooring, whilst the dining and lounge areas are carpeted, giving the room a softer, more comfortable feel.

The living area itself is a really good size, as you can see from the photographs, with plenty of room for sofas and other furniture without feeling cramped. The glazed French doors allow natural light to flood in, creating a bright and welcoming space to relax.

And then there are the views...

From the kitchen side of the apartment, you can look out towards open countryside, which is a lovely contrast to the contemporary surroundings of this modern development - it's one of those little extras that makes this apartment stand out.

The Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, which isn't always something you find in a modern apartment.

The main bedroom is a comfortable size with room for a double bed and wardrobes, and benefits from a lovely floor-to-ceiling style window arrangement which brings in plenty of natural light.
It also has its own ensuite shower room, complete with a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.

The second bedroom is another good-sized double and is currently arranged to accommodate both a bed and a home-working area.

This flexibility is worth considering, particularly if you work from home or occasionally have guests staying.

There is also a separate family bathroom with a bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Having two bathrooms is a real advantage, especially for couples, sharers or when friends and family come to stay.

Both bathrooms are finished in a clean, contemporary style.

Other practical benefits include UPVC double glazing and gas central heating.

All-in-all, this is a very well-presented apartment with a layout that makes good use of the available space.

Parking and Outside

The apartment benefits from allocated parking, with additional visitor parking available on the development.

Although there isn't a private garden, one of the real attractions of living at Monksmoor is the amount of green space and countryside nearby.

You get the convenience of apartment living without feeling too far removed from the outdoors.

Living in Monksmoor, Daventry

Monksmoor has become one of Daventry's most popular modern developments, and it's not difficult to understand why.

Designed around 21st-century Garden Village principles, the development was planned with green spaces, attractive surroundings and a sense of community in mind and, having spoken to plenty of people who live here, we know those are some of the things residents particularly enjoy.

If you like getting outside, you are well catered for.

Daventry Country Park is close by and offers beautiful walks around the reservoir, woodland trails and plenty of space to enjoy the fresh air.

The Grand Union Canal is also within easy reach, offering miles of peaceful towpath walks and countryside scenery.

Whether you have a dog, enjoy running or simply like a Sunday afternoon stroll, there is plenty on your doorstep.

For everyday essentials, Ashby Fields Local Centre is nearby, offering a convenience store, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, dentist, takeaway options and a popular local pub.

Daventry town centre is just a short drive away and has a good selection of supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars.

There is also the Daventry Leisure Centre, arc Cinema and the traditional twice-weekly market on the High Street.

For commuters, Daventry is well positioned for access to the A45, A5, M1 and M6, whilst Long Buckby railway station provides services towards Northampton, Birmingham and London Euston.

So, whether you are commuting, working from home or simply enjoying a slower pace of life, the location works well.

Our Thoughts

What we particularly like about this apartment is that it doesn't feel like you are compromising on space just because you are choosing apartment living.

The two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous open-plan living space make it a genuinely practical home.

Add in the countryside outlook, allocated parking, well-kept communal areas and the convenience of a ground floor position, and you have a property that should appeal to quite a wide range of buyers.

Modern, comfortable, easy to maintain and in a great location.

If this sounds like the sort of home you have been looking for, we would be delighted to show you around.
