Superb ground floor apartment with terrace and garage in Newnham.

Description

Redwood Lodge is a modern apartment block containing 15 apartments over four floors, constructed to a high specification and completed in 1990. The property is entered on the ground floor from a shared communal entrance with a video entry-phone system.

A solid front door opens into the wide apartment hallway, which in turn leads to all the principal rooms. Among these are an exceptional living room, and, leading from this, a separate kitchen. Both rooms take advantage of a predominantly south and east orientation and dual aspect views over a private terrace and communal grounds. The kitchen has Silestone work surfaces, AEG hob, NEFF oven, Bosch fridge freezer and Bosch slimline dishwasher, together with many wall and floor mounted units in a modern matt finish.

There are three bedrooms, the main one of which has a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with a bidet, high quality Roca sanitary ware, stainless steel fittings and a walk-in shower. A second family bathroom has a handbasin, toilet and full sized bath with shower over.

It should be noted that one of the original bedrooms is currently used as a family/TV room with adjoining office. This latter room was originally an en suite, and the plumbing is still potentially available should a return to this use be desired.

Outside there is a good sized brick-paved terrace, enjoying considerable privacy from its hedges, railings and a wall. The terrace faces east and south and enjoys plenty of light throughout the day. A covered part of the terrace area is found outside the main reception room. A gate leads from the terrace into the exceptionally well-maintained communal gardens with many tall specimen trees and well tended shrubs.

The apartment has, in a separate block, its own single garage with a substantial mezzanine for storage. There is ample parking for visitors adjacent to the property.
