Property description
This luxury first floor apartment forms part of the exclusive 'Galley View' development, formerly known as the Roman Galley Public House. This beautiful building was originally built in the 1930's and was sympathetically converted in 2008 to provide six luxury apartments. This particular apartment is situated to the back of the development and provides an impressive footprint that rivals most bungalows. The 19ft x 18ft sitting room floods with natural light and has lovely rural views, whilst the luxury fitted kitchen/diner is packed with appliances and features granite work tops. Two great size double bedrooms are on offer and both benefit from en-suite facilities. The property also benefits from an additional cloakroom, a utility room and is sold with a share of the freehold. Communal gardens are enjoyed with allocated parking for two cars plus visitor spaces. This unique development is approached via electronically operated gates with private road leading to Galley View, two attractive detached properties and potentially a further detached property. Internal viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the sheer space and quality on offer.
