Chain-Free One-Bedroom Apartment in Characterful Stanleigh House - Parking - £99,750

Offered for sale with no upward chain, this bright and well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of Stanleigh House, an attractive former manor house converted into just ten apartments.

Set within a quiet private development in the sought-after village of Donisthorpe, the property combines characterful communal surroundings with comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation. Secure entry opens into an impressive wood-panelled hallway with a grand carved staircase, leading to the apartment on the first-floor landing.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall provides access to every room. The generously proportioned lounge and dining room is filled with natural light from its large bay-style windows and enjoys a pleasant leafy outlook. An archway connects the living area to the fitted kitchen, which offers a good range of cupboards and worktop space, an integrated oven and hob, and space for under-counter appliances.

The double bedroom has room for additional furniture and benefits from a built-in wardrobe. The particularly spacious bathroom includes a full-size bath with electric shower, WC, wash basin and a window providing natural light.

Further benefits include electric heating, double glazing, secure communal entry and unallocated parking within the private communal parking area.

All furniture may be available by separate negotiation, including the under-counter fridge/freezer and washing machine, which are in good working order. This offers buyers the possibility of purchasing a furnished, ready-to-occupy property.

The apartment may appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers and investors. Its position close to the National Forest and a variety of local attractions may also give it potential for short-stay accommodation, subject to the lease terms and all necessary permissions and consents.
