A well presented first floor one bedroom apartment with stylish kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. Front and rear gardens, and pleasant views.

This well appointed first floor apartment is situated within a block of just four properties built during the 1940’s by the local authority. The property is accessed via a covered staircase which leads to a small commercial landing and is shared with the neighbouring apartment. A composite front door opens into a small entrance hallway containing the fuse box and doors off to the majority of the rooms. To the front elevation is the sitting room with fireplace which continues through to a smart triple aspect kitchen. This stylish room features a wide range of units and integrated appliances. To the rear of the apartment is the good sized double bedroom and a modern shower room with contemporary storage units and shower enclosure. The property also includes extensive double glazed windows and a recently upgraded gas fired central heating system.

Outside - From the roadside a commercial pathway leads down to the block and around to the side where you can then access a dedicated garden belonging to number 13. The current owner has worked incredibly hard and planted both the front and rear garden with a wide variety of season flowers and shrubs. There is also the addition of a summerhouse, decked seating area and garden shed.

Situation - Manor Avenue is situated just under a mile from the beautiful Lyme Bay and its beaches and is set in a cul de sac location.
