The grounds are surrounded by a stone wall and include a lovely communal lawned area to the front. The building itself is very well maintained and presented throughout and the apartment benefits from uPVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating.
Central to Seaton, the property is situated in the heart of the town, a stone’s throw from the beach and seafront, and a short walk to the local shops.
Flat 1 has the benefit of an enclosed private courtyard with shed and rear access alongside pedestrian access to the front of the building.
A communal entrance hall leads to the private front door to number 1 alongside a private, lockable cupboard which houses the consumer unit, electric meter and coat hooks.
On entering, doors lead to all rooms from the spacious hallway along with three good sized storage cupboards. Immediately on your right is a large living/dining room which takes full advantage of the views from a large window to the front from a raised area at one end, which is perfect for dining with a view. There is a central fireplace with an inset gas log effect stove.
The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of matching wood effect base and wall units, tiled splashback, laminate worktops and sink. There is a freestanding electric cooker, space/plumbing for one undercounter appliance and space for a fridge freezer. A door leads out from the kitchen to the rear courtyard area.
There are two bedrooms with the master bedroom having large, fitted storage cupboards, one of which houses the gas central heating boiler. The bathroom is fully tiled with laminate flooring and a white suite comprising bath, wash hand basin over vanity unit and WC. The apartment must be viewed internally to appreciate the superb view which is enjoyed from its elevated position.
