THE PROPERTY:
The property being sold is a FIRST and SECOND floor maisonette with the added benefit of a GARAGE, parking and TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS.
The property has its own front door on the ground floor, as such is split over ground, first and second floors.
Internally the floor space is approaching 800 sq ft which is larger than some two-bedroom houses. In fact, as the property has its own front door and is split over three floors with its own internal staircases, it does feel like a house inside.
Describing the property as a flat / maisonette doesnt do it justice. We would strongly advise you have a look at the floor plan to better understand the layout and what the property offers.
Often the second bedroom is a smaller bedroom by quite a margin, but in this instance both bedrooms are similar size doubles and measure almost 15ft each. Many buyers are keen to subsidise their costs by renting the second bedroom. A second bedroom of this size would be very well suited to this purpose.
Here is a list of features you wont see in the images, videos and virtual tour but buyers would be grateful to know:
Double glazing was installed at the end of 2022 and a FENSA certificate showing building regulations approval is available to buyers when the conveyancing process begins
The boiler was upgraded in 2021 which we believe still has warranty remaining. This will be available to buyers when the conveyancing process begins
There is both a gas certificate and electrical certificate in place which will be available to buyers when the conveyancing process begins (commonly buyers choose to undertake their own due diligence testing the gas and electrics installations, however in this instance it may not be necessary as certificates are available from the sellers and could save buyer several hundred pounds)
The floor was upgraded to engineered wood in 2018
There is access to the loft via a hatch
We also believe there is a very healthy sink fund in excess of £50,000 with the management company which offers buyers confidence that the development and building is well funded for maintenance in future
