The Property
Harwen House is believed to have been built in 1844 and maintains many original features of the Victorian era. Flat 2 is one of the larger flats occupying the first floor of the North West wing of Harwen House.
By entering at ground level, a private entrance hallway welcomes you into Harwen House with stairs leading up to the first floor. At the top of the stairs you will enter into the dining area which has plenty of room for dining furniture. The kitchen/breakfast room is well proportioned with units on two walls and a free standing island unit to the centre of the room. A large window overlooks the courtyard gardens and the room really does benefit from a inset wood burning stove, perfect for extra warmth in the winter. An open doorway then leads into the sitting room. Easily the largest room within the house, the sitting room benefits from two large windows to back and side aspects, a feature fireplace and built in cupboards and shelves either side. The two bedrooms both accommodate double beds and the smaller of the two has a set of his & hers built in wardrobe cupboards. The family bathroom has been refitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath, low level wc and a hand wash basin. The room further benefits from a internal window, heated towel rail and a shower over the bath.
Outside
The flat is approached by a shared driveway and this continues around the rear of the house to the parking area and garage complex. The house has the benefit of a freehold garage. The flats have a number of shared garden areas and its own allocated area of garden. The gardens themselves slightly slope away to the south boundary with a number of steps leading further down the garden. The garden comprises a lovely lawn area, a selection of mature hedges and specimen flowers of many varieties. The current vendor advises us that they maintain and enjoy the benefit of other areas of the shared grounds as other neighbours do not require frequent use of the gardens.
