2 bedroom flat for sale

John Edwards & Co is delighted to present this spacious two bed ground floor flat in Shirley Close, a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the extremely desirable Offington area, close to the vibrant Thomas A’Becket shopping area, and close to Broadwater Village, with its shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars.

The property comprises two generously sized double bedrooms, a spacious main living room, a contemporary bathroom, a fully fitted kitchen, and a private rear garden. It is immaculately presented throughout, and surrounded by well-maintained communal gardens.
