1 Bedroom Flat

Rarely do properties of this quality become available in this price range and in such an appealing location. This is a popular development, and the position of this ground floor flat is especially noteworthy, lying within a small cul de sac, overlooking a green to the front, and including its own gardens to both front and rear, as well as a parking space nearby. The back garden is ideal, with a westerly facing aspect giving the advantage of both indoor and outdoor living space. The interior has been extensively improved and upgraded, creating a well proportioned and well presented contemporary home, ideally suited to first time buyers or downsizers looking for a comfortable, easy maintenance home in a respected residential area. The layout includes an entrance lobby, a living/dining room, a modern refitted kitchen with high gloss units and integrated appliances, a rear hall, a double bedroom and a contemporary refitted shower room with a white suite and a large walk-in shower enclosure. The specification includes gas central heating via radiators with a replacement combination boiler and uPVC double glazing. Offered with no onward chain, an unexpired lease term of 950 years and only a peppercorn ground rent, keeping maintenance costs to an absolute minimum, this is a gem of a property, and we strongly recommend early viewing.

Thorntons Close is an established estate within Pelton Village where there are shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The village is served by public transport facilities and is a good base for commuting throughout the region via the A1(M) interchange in nearby Chester le Street.
