Not suitable for step-free living due to spiral stairs
Set across the top two floors, this rare duplex penthouse sits beside the lake and delivers generous living space with sweeping water views. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, two en-suites, a large lounge/diner with full-height glazing and two wide balconies that make the most of the outlook. An allocated secure underground parking space and long lease (circa 976 years) add practical value, while sale is offered with no onward chain.
The property is offered with some general updating required: heating is by electric room heaters, the EPC is grade D and broadband speeds are reported as slow. The layout is distinctive — internal spiral stairs link the two levels — which will appeal to buyers seeking character but may be less convenient for those needing step-free access. Service charge is approximately £2,160pa and the flat is leasehold.
For families, the apartment’s lakeside setting, dual balconies and proximity to several good primary schools are strong draws. For investors or renovators the size (about 1,199 sq ft), three bathrooms and clear uplift potential from refurbishment create opportunity, though prospective purchasers should factor in modernization costs for heating, energy efficiency and internal updating.
Viewed honestly: the property needs cosmetic and systems updating, has average EPC and electric heating, and broadband limitations. If you prioritise views, a top-floor position and a spacious duplex layout with secure parking and no chain, this penthouse deserves an internal inspection.
