2 bed flat to rent

Dorset Drive, Aldridge WS9

ILove homes® are offering for rent this refurbished second floor, two double bedroom apartment ideally located close to Aldridge Village. The property is set back from Dorset Drive behind a large communal lawn and with ample on-street parking available. A secure door with intercom access opens to the communal hall with staircase leading up to the property and a second secure door that leads out to the shared rear garden and sheds.

Just before entering the apartment, viewers will note two locked storage cupboards allocated to this home in the communal landing, with an additional storage unit located on the ground floor. Inside the front door is a short hallway with doors off to the lounge and kitchen, as well as a low-level storage cupboard, perfect for shoes. The re-fitted kitchen faces out to the rear of the property and features a functional suite with stainless steel sink and drainer, and a storage cupboard that houses the gas central heating combi-boiler.

The lounge is a marvellous reception room that has space for a sofa suite, entertainment unit and a small dining table / desk. There is also an open recess to the rear of the room where there was originally a fireplace, and access to a private balcony that looks out to the front of the property. A second door from the lounge leads through to the inner hallway where there are doors to both bedrooms, the family bathroom and another storage cupboard.

Both bedrooms are very generous doubles, the master to the front and the second to the rear. Finally for the interior, there is a family bathroom that features a p-shaped bathtub with shower fitted over, a corner wash basin, toilet and chrome heated towel rail.
