Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION ** Drayton Mill is one of the landmark buildings in Market Drayton, and this beautifully presented Two Bedroom Loft-Style Apartment is on the top floor, so benefits from feature beams throughout and views out over the town itself.
The apartment is offered to the market with No Upward Chain and has two private Parking Spaces in the communal car park. There's a secure communal entrance with intercom door system and a shared Entrance which has a lift and stairs up to all floors.
Set on the third floor, the lift opens to a small Landing shared with just one other apartment with feature brick archway and a smart front door that opens to the apartment's Hallway. Here there's a skylight, large coats/storage cupboard and an airing cupboard housing the water pump to ensure a good level of water pressure.
A door set in a feature beam and glazed wall opens to the striking Open Plan Living/Dining/Kitchen which has feature beams, exposed brickwork, with light flooding in through a floor to ceiling window and French doors out to the small shared Balcony. The Kitchen area has a good range of units with an AEG oven, electric hob with extractor fan over, washing machine and space for your fridge freezer.
Returning to the Hallway and there are two Double Bedrooms, one with an En Suite Shower Room and built-in wardrobe, and a Bathroom. The apartment also benefits from electric Fischer radiators, Velux-style windows for added light, new carpets throughout and feature beams and exposed brick.
There is an annual service charge of approximately £1800 to cover the maintenance and cleaning of the building and common areas, lifts and parking area.
Full of character, this lovely apartment needs to be viewed to appreciate the space and quality it offers - so please call our Market Drayton office to arrange a viewing.
LOCATION Market Drayton is a busy market town with a weekly street market every Wednesday whose charter dates back to 1245. The town has the Grove School with Sixth Form, Indoor Swimming Pool, Doctors' Clinic, Dentists and a range of Cafes, Shops, Supermarkets and Sports Clubs.
A wider range of shops and facilities can be found via the A53 to Shrewsbury and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the A41 links to Newport and Whitchurch. The nearest mainline train stations are at Crewe and Stoke-on-Trent, and the M6 is approximately a 30 minutes' drive.
