This bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of Meadow View, set within the historic grounds next to Osborne House. The layout includes a large lounge/diner with doors onto a private balcony overlooking the meadow, a modern fitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and two bathrooms including an ensuite and dressing area to the master. The property measures approximately 1,070 sq ft, offering roomier accommodation than many flats of this type.
The flat has been well maintained and presents in good decorative order throughout. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the building benefits from the cachet of its setting and well-kept communal grounds. Practical benefits include two allocated off-street parking spaces within the residents’ car park and a share of freehold ownership with no onward chain, simplifying purchase for many buyers.
Buyers should note the heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas system), which can be more expensive than gas central heating. The local area is classified as an ageing urban community with higher levels of deprivation, and crime is described as average — factors to consider for those prioritising social infrastructure or long-term investment prospects. There is no flood risk.
Overall this apartment will suit those seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance home in a peaceful, historic setting — particularly downsizers or retirees who value proximity to green space and the convenience of parking and a share of freehold tenure.
