Spacious, 2 double bedroom first floor apartment within handsome period building. Spacious living, balcony, communal gardens, parking for 2 cars. 10-15 min walk to MLS, shops and park. No onward chain
Allen Gardiner House is a handsome period building which still retains beautiful features such as a magnificent stained glass window to the communal entrance hall and sweeping staircase. Set within easy reach of the town amenities and well-screened from the road by mature hedging and trees, the property offers convenience and character, surrounded by greenery.
The communal entrance has an entry-phone system and the elegant entrance hall opens up to reveal a majestic staircase leading up the first floor with a large stained glass window. This apartment occupies the right hand side, or south-west side of the first floor as you face the building. Coming into the L-shaped private entrance hall for the apartment, there is excellent storage with two useful cupboards. You immediately notice the light pouring into the apartment from the lovely large windows and each room has leaded-light panels with stained glass inserts at the top of the windows which adds to the character of the building. The first room on your right is the second bedroom, which is to the front of the building and is a double room with a built-in double wardrobe and space for additional furniture. The main bedroom is a spacious double room and this has a box bay window and two built-in double wardrobes creating a wall of excellent storage. There is an en-suite to the master bedroom and this has been fitted with a corner shower cubicle with handheld and drench shower, WC, heated towel rail and wash basin with storage beneath. There is a separate bathroom to serve the second bedroom and for guests and this features a white suite comprising bath with shower attachment over, WC and wash basin.
This apartment has a separate kitchen, which has modern white units and integrated appliances including an electric oven with gas hob and fan over, a fridge/freezer and a washing machine. The living space is excellent in this property, with a large, double aspect sitting/dining room across the rear of the apartment and enjoying an outlook over the communal garden. There is a box bay window at an angle and this lends itself perfectly to being the natural home for your dining table and chairs with the main space being ideal for relaxed seating and entertaining. This room is south facing and is a lovely, bright space with a door opening onto a small balcony with space for a couple of chairs and possibly a bistro table too. There are lawned communal gardens to the rear of the building, with seating areas, but it is so nice to have the option of opening your sitting room door and sitting out in the fresh air without leaving your apartment too.
Whilst the town amenities, station, local schools and beautiful parks are all within a 10-15 minute walk away and a car is not essential for day to day life here, you do also benefit from 2 allocated parking spaces for this apartment, located at the front of the building. For sale with no onward chain, this is a superb property with well-proportioned accommodation, all beautifully presented and ready to move straight into. Could this be your next home?
