2 bedroom ground floor flat for sale

A rare two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, set within a small block of just six apartments, enjoying westerly views across Swillbrook Lake which is one of the many beautiful nature lakes within the private, gated and exclusive Lower Mill Estate. The apartment is accessed via a short path directly from the designated parking area.

Entry is through a communal front door, with convenient key safes providing easy access for holiday guests or visiting friends and family. The apartment itself is accessed from a communal hallway, shared with just one other ground-floor apartment.

The landing opens into a bright, open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, with two sets of ‘stacker’ sliding doors leading out to the west-facing sun deck.

Two doors from the landing lead to the bedrooms: the master bedroom with en-suite (shower over bath), and a second bedroom accessed via a small hallway. Along this hallway is the second en-suite shower room, cleverly designed to also serve as a guest shower room when entertaining.

OUTSIDE: A large, west-facing private sun deck, offering ample space for al fresco dining and for enjoying the abundant wildlife that frequents the area and surrounding lakes. The deck is currently open to the neighbouring, identical deck, with no physical separation; this has been intentionally designed to preserve uninterrupted lake views from within the apartment.

THE LOWER MILL ESTATE: The property benefits from full access to the facilities at the exclusive Lower Mill Estate, including the on-site private spa with outdoor and indoor heated swimming pools, sauna, steam room, gym, and natural plunge pool. A further heated swimming pool, set in a more traditional country-house style, is also available for residents and guests.

The estate additionally offers tennis courts, children’s play areas, and a network of nature trails, along with numerous freshwater lakes ideal for fishing, wild swimming, wildlife watching, and non-motorised water sports. Lower Mill Estate is a well-established and highly regarded destination for holidaymakers, known for its outstanding natural setting and exceptional on-site amenities

ANNUAL RUNNING COSTS: The property is held on the remainder of a 999-year lease, with approximately 987 years remaining. Ground rent is linked to RPI and reviewed annually, currently around £3,000 per annum. The service charge is reviewed annually, operates on a not-for-profit basis, and is approximately £5,500 per annum.
