Why buy this home...

As you enter the apartment you are greeted with a good sized entrance hall with hard flooring, with a large built in storage cupboard and built in shelving unit - ideal to store coats and shoes out of the way.

Carrying on down the hallway to the left hand side is the main bathroom which is generous in size, with a window and a three piece suite. To the right hand side of the hallway is the bedroom, with a floor to ceiling window offering plenty of natural light throughout. It features an alcove suitable for a large wardrobe as well as having the space for a chest of drawers too.

Finally at the end of the hall you enter the open plan kitchen and living space. This room has triple aspect windows, including a floor to ceiling window and a Juliet balcony, so the space feels really light and airy. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard space, and is fitted with full size AEG integrated appliances including dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer and also features under-cupboard lighting. The living room is spacious and the current owner has it furnished with a three seater sofa and a four seater dining table and chairs without it feeling too "cosy", and creating a welcoming space for when friends visit.

Parking is provided by one allocated space as well as having plenty of communal parking nearby.

More about the location...

For a new development, Newton Leys is steeped in history. with some parts dating back as far as the Iron Age. However, it was more recently famous for brick-making from the late 19th Century, in the form of Newton Longville Brickworks. When the Brickworks closed in 1978, an old claypit was flooded to create Jubilee Lake, now more commonly known as Willow Lake, easily the jewel in Newton Leys' crown.
