3 bedroom apartment for sale

Description 8 Kents Bank House is a super property with more of a detached Bungalow feel than an Apartment! It has no neighbours above or below so almost feels detached. The current vendors renovated the property in 2017 and have created a most attractive, well presented property with neutral decor throughout and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. Currently a very successful holiday let (figures available upon request), 8 Kents Bank House will appeal to the Investor market, the down-sizers, lock up and leavers or perhaps a young family.

Steps lead up to the wooden front door, from here stairs lead into the Dining Area. The floor throughout the Dining Area, Kitchen and Hall is a very attractive wood effect ceramic tile. The Dining Area has a side window (planning permission is in place to change to a patio door with direct access to the Garden if required) and 'Velux' roof window.
