Apsley Court is a beautiful Grade II listed period residence dating back to the early C17th, with C19th additions. Externally, the property is quintessentially Georgian with a handsome symmetrical brick facade featuring stone quoining, modillion cornice and curved hooded front door. Internally, the property displays some older details including wooden staircases, brick fireplaces and exposed beams.

Flat 4 is accessed via a communal door to the rear of the building, from the courtyard parking area, which opens into a hallway and leads to the main, grand turned wooden staircase, shared with just one other (first floor) apartment in the building.

At the top of the stairs, double doors open into the flat’s central hallway, with the rest of the accommodation leading off it. A loft hatch with pull-down ladder in the hallway provides access to a useful attic storage space, which the vendors also use as a study space (restricted head height).

Exposed beams, wood flooring and plantation shutters are a recurring theme throughout the flat. The living room, which is big enough to accommodate sitting and dining spaces, features a brick fireplace housing a woodburning stove and has eye-catching views over the village to the front.

The kitchen is fitted with painted base units with wood block worktops and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, oven and 5 ring electric hob.

The bedroom will accommodate a double bed and the well-appointed bathroom features a white suite with a standalone roll top bath.

To the rear of the building there is a walled courtyard with access off Pickforde Lane, in which this flat has access to a garage en bloc. Additional parking can be found across the road in a tucked-away non-charging public car park.
