Description

A great opportunity to acquire a spacious two-bedroom split-level maisonette. This property is arranged over the top floor and the floor below, providing a well-proportioned and versatile layout that will appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors alike. The accommodation comprises two generously sized double bedrooms, offering ample space for comfortable living and flexibility for sharers or those seeking a dedicated home office. There is a fitted kitchen and a spacious lounge/diner, and the maisonette has much built-in storage too.
