Description

Originally two separate flats, Flat 2 and Flat 7 were combined to create the current property within Fosseway House, a handsome17th century farmhouse with a grand Victorian extension.

The generous entrance hall welcomes you into the apartment. There is a stunning, well-proportioned drawing room with very large windows making it light and bright. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of cabinets and has plenty of space for a good sized table and chairs.

The property benefits from a single garage and two allocated parking spaces. There are designated parking areas for residents and visitors. To the northern elevation is a courtyard garden, ideal for al fresco dining, and a smaller paved area outside the entrance on the southern elevation.

The extensive communal grounds of Fosseway House comprise large lawns, mature trees and shrubs, woodland copse and mounded areas and all parts are available to all residents. The grounds, roads and paths are maintained by the Fosseway House Management Company with all residents being shareholders and the Directors being volunteers from among the residents.

The property will appeal to a broad audience of buyers including owner-occupiers and those looking for a second home.
