DESCRIPTION

A spacious, Grade II listed, two bedroom first floor apartment set within the heart of South Horrington Village. The property benefits from high ceilings and character features but is now in need of updating. The property benefits from allocated parking and use of the beautifully maintained communal gardens.

Upon entering is a good sized entrance hall leading to a separate study area. This useful room has a front aspect and could also be used for storage or as a dressing room. From the entrance hall steps lead up to a further hall with an attractive tiled floor and large shelved storage cupboard.  From here the hall opens up further to a generously proportioned space which leads to all rooms.  The sitting/dining room is bright and spacious with high ceilings and a large mullioned window offering wonderful views over the communal gardens and countryside beyond. There is plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a small dining area. Open to the sitting room is the kitchen with an outlook of the front. The kitchen is in need of replacement, and currently comprises a range of wall and base units, one and a half bowl sink, integrated oven, gas hob and space for both a washing machine and under counter fridge. In one corner is a wall mounted 'Worcester' combi-boiler. 

Accessed from the hallway, are two bedrooms and the bathroom. The principal bedroom, again with a beautiful stone mullion window is a good sized double with views over the communal gardens. The second bedroom is a large single with mullioned window and front aspect. The bathroom, which is in need of cosmetic updating, comprises a bath with hand held shower attachment, WC and wash basin.
