Part of the conversion of a Victorian semi-detached home this charming property is one of just three homes in the development. Accessed via its own front door to the rear with much of the property being part of an extension to the original building this well presented apartment offers flexible living accommodation over two floors and direct access on to the generous rear garden which, whilst communal to the three apartments, has due to the proximity to the property, offered the current owner almost exclusive use. There are two spacious and bright reception rooms on the ground floor, one with a large bay window which has been used as a home office perfect for home working as well as a gym and dining room. The other reception room opens into the bright and airy fitted kitchen which again looks over the garden. There is ample storage on the ground floor and a bathroom. On the first floor, which has split levels, there are two double bedrooms and a shower room. There is a patio area adjacent to the kitchen which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and there is off road parking to the front. The lease was extended when the current owner purchased the property and has over 150 years remaining. There is the added benefit of no ground rent being payable and no service charge levied. The buildings insurance is split between the three apartments in in 2021/22 the third share was £880. This unique home would make an excellent first-time purchase or be a great investment with a rental yield in excess of 5% in an excellent location.
