The Agent's Opinion:
This bright and airy flat occupies the entire top floor of this four-unit block, and as a result of its elevated position, enjoys distant south-westerly views towards the local valley from both its main bedroom and kitchen. The living room offers generous space, measuring 15'3" x 12'0", adequate to host a table and chairs as well as lounge suite. In addition there is a second bedroom and bathroom and the Flat has gas central heating and "tilt 'n' turn" double glazed windows.
Another particular advantage to this comfortable home is the invaluable provision of residents' parking located to the rear; worth its weight in gold, given this property's town-centre location! Residents share a pleasant garden enclosure, as well as the parking which is delightfully appointed with shrubbery, a patio equipped with seating, purpose-built brick barbeque, and lawned area.
The Flat will be sold with a share in the Freehold interest of the building: a true advantage.
