PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONSpacious lower ground floor apartment with private garden and own entrance. This impressive and unusually spacious apartment offers versatile living accommodation, benefiting from two generous reception rooms, its own private rear entrance, and a secluded private garden. The property boasts a well proportioned main reception room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, alongside a second reception room that could be utilised as a dining room, home office, or occasional guest space depending on your needs. The layout offers flexibility rarely found in one bedroom apartments. The bedroom is a substantial double room, providing ample space for wardrobes and additional furnishings. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of units and workspace, and the bathroom is fitted with a modern suite. One of the standout features of this home is the private rear entrance, offering convenience and a sense of independence more akin to a house than an apartment. Externally, the property benefits from its own private garden - ideal for outdoor dining, gardening enthusiasts, or simply enjoying a quiet retreat. This property would make an ideal first-time purchase, investment opportunity, or downsizing option, offering generous proportions and excellent versatility in a highly desirable setting.
