GENERAL
Located on one of the most delightful tree lined cul-de-sacs in the area, this is an absolute gem of a property; very few ground floor flats include private gardens, two garages, and a share of the Freehold. With gas central heating and double-glazing, the property comprises: communal and private entrances, a generous hallway, a superb south facing living room with direct access to the front garden and patio area, a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms (one has an en-suite shower room) and a modern bathroom with shower. A shared driveway leads to the rear of the development, where Flat 1 has two garages en-bloc to the left side. In addition to the private front garden, Flat 1 owns a small plot of land to the rear of the garages. There are two former coal storage areas underneath the rear of Flat 2 in the ownership of Flat 1. We have plans in our office showing the exact extent of the land in the ownership with Flat 1, and the rights of access etc. that are available for inspection. With the vibrant amenities of Headingley just a short stroll away, yet tucked away in a very peaceful setting, this is an ideal opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a truly unique property. EARLY VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
