Description

At just £342 per square foot this must be the BEST VALUE for money home we have available.

Not to be missed for those buyers looking for masses of space in a versatile layout, quality fittings, a gated development, prestigious and convenient location.

No Chain. Ready to Move in. Available again due to buyers change in personal circumstances and reduced in price.

If you’re looking for a house or a mews house, you should consider viewing this property as this duplex apartment feels more like a self-contained two-storey mews house, once inside, rather than an apartment. It shares its external entrance with just one other property so the feeling of communal living doesn’t apply.

The standout features are the very generously proportioned rooms, all of them, living rooms and bedrooms, and the excellent sized dining kitchen which is large enough to allow occupiers to use the existing separate formal dining room as a third double bedroom if needed. Its also worth noting that the walk in shelved store cupboard off the dining room/potential 3rd bathroom was built with plumbing to the room to allow it to be used as an ensuite bath or shower room to that room.

There is also a large west facing private patio area for the exclusive use of Number 3 accessed from the lower ground floor rooms, and the bedrooms have fitted bedroom furniture. There is a separate study and a visitor’s WC at the living level. At bedroom level there are two bath/shower rooms, one of which is ensuite, and a utility room.

The beautifully presented and generously proportioned living space is at entrance level and includes a lovely sitting room, large and very well fitted dining kitchen, separate formal dining room with walk in butler’s pantry, originally conceived as a bedroom with ensuite (plumbing services for the addition of this ensuite already exist), a separate study and visitors wc.

At lower ground floor level there is a large master bedroom with ensuite and a second very large room, the largest room in the house, which is used by the current owner as a second living room with doors on to the patio but was originally conceived as a second bedroom.

The property is approached through secure electrically operated entrance gates where parking and turning exists.

This property is ideal for downsizers who want a lock up and leave but want to minimise the feel of communal living and who want big rooms and spacious and versatile accommodation.

It will also appeal greatly to those younger buyers considering the period terrace or semidetached property locally but would prefer to have secure off street parking and better outside space. It has much larger accommodation than those properties and represents far better value for money on a £ per square foot basis.

Viewing Essential could never be more relevant than in the case of this very appealing home.

Share of Freehold. The residents’ management company owns the freehold, each owner of Grove Park has an equal share in the management company.
