Why buy this home?
As you step into this home, you'll immediately notice the abundance of natural light that fills this two bedroom apartment, this is thanks to the numerous large windows and its prime location on the top floor of the building.
The entrance hall is a great size and gives you room to have units for shoe storage as you first enter, then straight away in front of you there are two good sized storage cupboards. Firstly on the right of the hallway is a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom is great size and big enough to host a king size bed, bedside tables, wardrobes and a chest of drawers. The en-suite bathroom has a large shower, toilet and basin and is neutrally tiled giving it a light and airy feel.
Bedroom two is directly next to the master bedroom, currently set up as a child's bedroom, however the current owner did previously have it set up as a further double bedroom, with a double bed under the window with room for wardrobes as well. This would also make a great space to create a home office should you need to work from home. There is a spacious family bathroom that serves the second bedroom, with a shower over the bath and floor to ceiling tiles as well as having a large window.
Then leading into the open plan kitchen and living space, this room has triple aspect windows allowing for natural light to flow in throughout the day. The kitchen offers plenty of storage cupboards as well as having built in AEG appliances including a full size fridge/freezer, full size dishwasher, a washer/dryer and a four ring gas hob. The living space is a good size and has room for a four seater dining table and chairs near to the kitchen, then having a corner sofa at the other end giving you some natural separation within the room. There is double French doors onto the balcony that has beautiful views out over Kingsmead Spinney, the balcony itself is spacious and would easily host an outdoor table and chairs, ideal for alfresco dining on those warm summer evenings.
Finally one of the real features of this apartment is its position within the building. This apartment's located at the end of the block and this offers advantages such as minimal shared walls with neighbours. With just one adjoining wall, and that wall being into a communal area, this ensures added privacy. These aspects combine to make the apartment a peaceful and quiet retreat for the new home owners.
As this apartment is on the top floor, there is also loft space for additional storage should you need it. Outside there is a communal car park and allocated parking for one car, as well as having plenty of additional parking for visitors nearby.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes

01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
