Description

Now this is a rare find! This is no ordinary apartment, it is a duplex maisonette style apartment, with no-one above or below (only the main entrance below one portion of the apartment), coming to the market beautifully appointed, with a secure parking space in a listed building, positioned on the edge of the city centre. Now if that isn't enough boxes ticked, then quite frankly what else could you wish for, within this price bracket?! What's more, the property comes with no upward chain and comprises a large open plan lounge diner and separate kitchen off. Upstairs are two large double bedrooms (and when we say large, we mean a huge master, and a second bedroom more akin to a master in most apartments), whilst there is a stunning shower room, and a beautiful en-suite bathroom off the master. Electric gates provide access to the secure parking area where there is an allocated space and along with a extended lease, there isn't really anything else you could possibly want! Call us today and book in an early visit!
