Features and description

A Chain Free, spacious two bedroom first floor apartment situated in this elegant and characterful late Victorian residence on the outskirts of Freshwater Bay, yet within a short walk of the beach and sssi protected Nature Reserve.
The building is set in good sized grounds and features an 'In and Out' driveway together with a good sized communal garden to the rear. Afton Lodge was originally built as a fine detached residence and connected to the Tennyson family. The property was later converted into five apartments. This apartment is well maintained and has a lovely spacious sitting/dining room with access out to a sunny balcony terrace to the rear. In addition, there is a good sized kitchen with ample storage as well as two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with both a bath and separate shower cubicle. A number of original features have been retained including some interior doors and coving as well the attractive part leaded light windows. Other features include gas central heating and a useful garage en-bloc with mezzanine storage.
