FULL DESCRIPTION

Apartment One- Ground Floor:
This luxury ground floor apartment offers ideal owner’s accommodation or excellent potential as a holiday let, centred around a striking open-plan modern kitchen and dining area with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, creating seamless indoor–outdoor living. The well-appointed kitchen features an induction hob, electric oven, integrated microwave, wine cooler, dishwasher and a large central island with breakfast bar, alongside a separate contemporary larder cupboard, while a separate lounge provides additional living space. The garden includes composite decking across the rear, a lawned area and a useful external store room. The apartment comprises three generous double bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, including a principal suite with a spacious en-suite and walk-in wardrobe with bespoke fitted units, a second bedroom with fitted units, en-suite shower room and patio doors to the garden, and a third bedroom with fitted bespoke units and en-suite bathroom. Further accommodation includes an additional WC and separate utility room. Additional benefits include three allocated off-road parking spaces on the drive, enhancing the practicality and convenience of the property. Investor Insight: As a three-bedroom apartment, with fewer comparable properties available than the typical two-bedroom configuration, this property is particularly well positioned within the holiday let market. Larger units are in high demand, appealing to extended families, multi-generational groups, and small groups of friends seeking to stay together under one roof. The open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space is ideal for group living and socialising, further enhancing its appeal. This broader occupancy profile widens the booking audience, while the three-bedroom layout, combined with multiple en-suite facilities, makes it especially attractive for group bookings where privacy and comfort are key, setting it apart from the majority of smaller flats available.

The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob, electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and a breakfast bar with seating for two, while a separate main bathroom features a bath with shower over and WC. The apartment also benefits from allocated off-road parking for one vehicle. Investor Insight: Proven as a successful holiday let since 2021, the property benefits from an established trading history and a loyal base of repeat guests. The layout is highly appealing to couples and families alike, supporting consistent occupancy levels, with average occupancy between approximately 65–70% from April through to September.
