Offering a share of freehold and over 760 sq ft of living space the property is both generous in proportion and more desirable than a leasehold flat.
The images, floor plan, interactive virtual reality tour and full HD video walk through do a fantastic job of showing you what’s on offer, however some of the standout features for the owner include the following:
• Bathroom walls are insulated with thermal plaster boards. This is one of the reasons the EPC rating is a C and not lower as commonly found with period properties
• A bathroom with two windows, a bath and a separate shower
• The second bedroom is a double which often isn’t the case with flats
• The East facing master bedroom was the biggest the owner had seen when they were looking locally to buy
• The character features charmed the owners as did the west facing lounge window
• The corridor presents an impressive storage space with a lot of shelving. Storage can often be a common concern with period properties
