1 Bed Apartment For Sale

Sellers view - Having a home in a location which matched the lifestyle I envisioned was a priority for me:

• Close enough to the train station so I could roll out of bed late, and still have time to grab a coffee and make my train on time.
• Easy and quick access to the airport for early mornings and late-night work trips and personal get-aways.
• Enjoy the liveliness of being in the town centre with the variety of activities on my doorstep and yet still have access to the stillness of nature nearby
• Have instant access to the variety of restaurants to leisurely eat and explore while still having the convenience to do last minute takeaways for late work nights, last minute cravings and lazy nights in.

It was important that my home became my sanctuary where it was:

• Big enough to host the people closest to me so we could create memories together yet small enough to make cleaning up quick and hassle-free.
• Private enough to enjoy peace and tranquillity on the days I needed rest, yet close enough to people for me to still feel connected to a community.
• Sunny enough to feel the winter sun on my face while relaxing in the mornings yet cozy enough to enjoy stormy nights in with a warm drink and a good movie, bringing the chilled vibes.

This flat offers endless possibilities to shape it into exactly what you need it to be and has allowed me to enjoy the best of both worlds: experiencing a lively, fast paced lifestyle whilst also having a more peaceful and slower one when needed. I truly hope the next owner(s) create unforgettable memories and enjoy building this into their sanctuary as much as I have!
