Description

Step Inside
With easy access to the beach, local shops and commuter routes, this Goring-by-Sea flat offers the best of both worlds. Sitting on the ground floor of a favoured two storey cul de sac development with attractive communal gardens, it has the added benefit of a private street entrance and a garage in a nearby compound.

Impressively sized, a double aspect layout flows from an enclosed entrance porch into a spacious lounge/dining room where a focal point fireplace and picture rails lend plenty of charm and character. Wide bay windows supply the perfect spot for a large dining table, a herringbone floor stretches out underfoot and patterned chimney breast alcoves add a tasteful finishing touch. A trio of doors unfold onto a duo of double bedrooms and an inner hallway that leads the way to a generously sized Shaker kitchen. Its broad galley design provides plenty of storage and workspace and has space and plumbing for a range of freestanding appliances including a cooker, washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

The notable proportions and level of presentation continue in each of the double bedrooms and whilst both have picture rails and plush carpeting, the excellent main bedroom has a feature patterned wall. Together they share a stylish modern bathroom that has a full size bath with an overhead shower, a heated towel radiator and coastal blue mosaic detailing. Its herringbone floor matches that of the lounge and kitchen creating a hugely cohesive interior design scheme.

Outside a private garage is just moments away in a nearby compound and residents of this popular complex have access to established lawns of superbly planted and maintained communal gardens. It is good to note that the current owner pays a service charge of £125 per quarter. This includes building insurance and the maintenance of the communal gardens.
