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. The elevated position of the flat ensures much in the way of natural light and impressive outlooks, ideally positioned to capture far-reaching views across the iconic Central London skyline. Offered to the market chain-free, this maisonette represents a great first-time buy, or an ideal 'Buy to Let' investment, with strong rental demand in the area and the potential for immediate occupancy. Viewing is highly recommended.
