Why you’ll like it:
Homeleigh is an attractive, low maintenance, brick and glass development set well back from the road behind pleasant gardens and with private parking. You drive in from London Road where there is parking to the rear and secure entry phone systems giving access to the well-maintained communal ways. Stepping inside the flat, it is clearly a modern space which has undergone recent renovations providing streamlined spaces for relaxation, entertaining and comfortable living. A smart neutral decoration runs throughout each room, so you can add your own stamp on the place with furnishings and accessories.

Within the living room, there is ample space for formal dining, relaxation and working from home, if need be, in complete peace and tranquillity. Even with the Juliet balcony doors open, the location at the West end of the block ensures it is wonderfully quiet with nothing to disturb you other than the sounds of birds in the trees. The kitchen sits adjoining the living room, having been recently renovated to include a new integrated oven and ceramic hob alongside an under-counter fridge, freezer and washer/dryer. All appliances are included in the sale. For a galley kitchen, there is a vast amount of storage and ample worktop space for the keen cook.

The clean, contemporary aesthetic continues into the bedrooms with fresh pale grey walls and mid-grey carpets offering a blank canvas for new owners. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe, while bedroom two has space for a small double bed and freestanding pieces, ideal for sharers, small families or professionals looking for a tranquil home office. Nearby, the bathroom is classic in white with an electric shower over the bath, so you can guarantee piping hot water whenever you need it.

The flat has a gas central heating system throughout powered by a combi boiler which was renewed in 2022 and has been serviced in 2024.
