Description
Apartment 3 is the largest of the duplex apartments and has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, creating beautifully presented and spacious accommodation extending to approximately 1,493 sq.ft., including the garage.
The ground floor features a generous living room with a flexible movable partition allowing the adjoining reception room to be used as a dining room, study or separate sitting room. The recently refitted kitchen/dining room incorporates a comprehensive range of contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, including oven/microwave, dishwasher, washer dryer, fridge/freezer and wine cooler. A sun room provides an additional reception space, while new neutral flooring complements the fresh décor throughout.
Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom has been completely refurbished with an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing area and a newly fitted en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a particularly spacious en-suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.
The apartment also benefits from its own garage with electrically operated door and an EV charging point.
The beautifully maintained communal grounds are a particular feature, incorporating established gardens, a central fountain, BBQ area and orchard with a variety of fruit trees. Secure gated access and extensive parking further enhance this attractive development.
Combining generous accommodation, high-quality recent improvements and an attractive semi-rural setting, Apartment 3 offers an excellent opportunity within easy reach of the shops, restaurants and amenities of Alderley Edge and Wilmslow.
