Inside, the decoration is both contemporary and stylish to suit all styles of furnishing, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. There is ample space to eat within the kitchen diner and there is a wealth of storage to keep the flat clutter free.

It resides in a hugely popular area for commuters, families and professionals alike, making it the ideal investment for first time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Transport links are excellent, both in and out of the city, and with several local shops, cafes, gastropubs and parks nearby, this property is sure to be snapped up.

Why you’ll like it:
Sitting within the popular Fiveways district; an area characterised by period architecture, independent shops, pretty parks and excellent schools, this garden flat sits on a quiet tree lined road away from the main shopping thoroughfare, so it is ultimately peaceful while remaining well-connected.

Having undergone full redecoration in recent years, it is incredibly well-presented throughout using a contemporary palette and fittings. With easy access on the ground floor, this property also benefits from sole access to the rear garden which is a great size for a city space and is open to the south for sunshine throughout the day.

Stepping inside, the communal ways are shared by just one other. Your door opens to a corridor linking the rooms with two deep storage cupboards for coats, shoes and household items.
The eye is first drawn to the living room to the front of the building with a wide box bay window facing west to fill the space with natural light. The sashes have been replaced with energy efficient double glazing which frames a leafy outlook as mature trees line the street. Inside, there is ample space for comfortable seating – and for a dining table and chairs within the bay if desired, although there is space for a table in the kitchen too.

Peacefully positioned next door, looking out to the garden, the bedroom is a charming double with space for wardrobes or chests of drawers in the alcoves around the chimney breast which maximises the floor space. Soft grey carpet underfoot adds warmth and comfort, complementing the dove grey walls offering a fresh blank canvas for new owners.

Further along the hall, the kitchen is bright and deceptively spacious with plenty of storage in contemporary handle free cabinetry in white, paired with solid oak worktops to echo the floor.

Within these, the oven and hob are integrated, with a free-standing washing machine, dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer all included, while sunflower yellow brick tiles add a pop of warm colour to the splashbacks. As the weather warms, dining indoors can spill outside to the sandstone patio and lawn of the garden which is bathed in sunshine from the morning and into the afternoon. Sleepers form steps and border walls to the patio, creating raised beds for a kitchen garden, bringing scent and colour to the outdoor dining area.

Returning inside, at the far end of the flat, the bathroom gleams in white with a monochrome patterned floor and a shower over the bath.

Agent’s thoughts:
Beautifully presented throughout, this property will appeal to many. Being brilliantly located for professionals and commuters, we do not expect this property to stay on the market for long.

Owners’ thoughts:
‘It is incredibly peaceful here and Fiveways has a great community and café culture. You can walk down the hill into town in 20 minutes, but there is plenty going on locally too- and it’s just 15-minutes to Preston Park Station with its direct trains to London for those who commute.’
