A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment in the village of Shillingstone, offered with no onward chain and immediate possession possible. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area feels bright thanks to skylights and a large side window that frames pleasant rural views. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the apartment benefits from UPVC double glazing and vinyl flooring in main living areas.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, modest council tax, and a long lease (125 years from 2018). The layout suits a first-time buyer, a weekend or holiday base, or a buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward management in a low-crime, very affluent area.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge (approx. £1,300) and ground rent (£250). Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters and room heaters, which can be more costly than gas; prospective purchasers should check running costs. Access is via an external staircase and the building has ground-floor commercial uses, so occasional noise or activity from the shop area is possible.
Overall, the apartment is a compact, modern home in a popular village setting offering easy lock-up-and-leave convenience and clear rental or owner-occupier potential, provided buyers accept leasehold ownership and electric heating.
