## Description

A delightful and light 1 bedroom (formerly 2 beds) second floor apartment with a balcony and great views towards Beverley Minster.  Located just off sought after Highgate the property will really appeal to those keen to be central with all the convenience of an apartment.  Early viewing is essential!

 

As well as the views to the south towards the Minster there are views from the kitchen window over ancient roof tops and gardens of this historic area of Beverley.  The current owners removed walls (with permission of the freeholder) both partially and fully to maximise the space and light.  Whereas the property was once two bedrooms, the merging of the old second bedroom into the principal one allows for a useful dressing area.  A partial wall removal between the kitchen and living room really opens the space up but provides definition of the space.  This lovely property benefits from a gas fired central heating system and double glazing, and comprises:  Entrance Vestibule, Living Room with patio doors opening onto the balcony, Kitchen with a range of base level fitted units and pantry cupboard, Double Bedroom opening onto a dressing area and Bathroom with a suite in white.  The communal areas have undergone a significant upgrade in recent years with redecoration and new windows so the staircase benefits from a large south facing window flooding the space with light.  There is undesignated residents' parking and garages are available to rent upon application to the management company.  The current owners have the use of two of these though these can’t be passed on and will need to be applied for once occupancy has commenced.

 

A really lovely property in an excellent location and early viewing is essential but we do have a 360 degree tour available which will provide an excellent insight in the first instance.
