1 Bed Flat, Denby Lane (Off Wellington Rd. Nth.), SK4

Available Early to mid-September

At the top of a two-storey Victorian conversion on leafy Denby Lane in a highly sought-after area and its many nearby amenities, a charming, fully furnished, one-bedroom flat comprising a spacious, double-aspect lounge, a hallway, a kitchen, a bathroom and a quirky double bedroom with dormer window and high, sloping ceilings. Private off-road parking within the Denby Lodge gardens.

Delightfully presented in a tranquil setting, this fully refurbished property - one of only four flats in the conversion of Denby Lodge - is tastefully decorated and generously fitted and furnished offering some 60 sq.m.(640 sq.ft.) of spacious living accommodation in an attractive, snug, top-floor flat offering comfortable living conditions. Not overlooked, the entire property gives on to Denby Lane and to the Denby Lodge mature, leafy gardens. It has been sympathetically renovated to a very high standard, the refurbishment comprising: full rewire, hi-spec loft and joist insulation, replastering, new plumbing and gas-fired central heating system, new combi boiler and radiators, double glazing, bespoke fitted kitchen and bathroom, both partially tiled; quality floor coverings throughout.  Authentic Victorian doors, brass knobs, deep skirting boards, ceiling roses and cornices complete the property's original features. The comprehensive insulation - together with the thermal and acoustic underlay of all floor coverings - result in a cosy and highly energy-efficient dwelling making it excellent value for money (an external door/window have just been replaced (Aug 2022) and which will increase the property's EPC rating).

> Entrance into a double aspect carpeted living room with dining area complete with good quality, lined curtains and a fireplace with electric fire under an unusual sloping ceiling.  A quaint wall hatch opens onto the kitchen.  Airy and spacious, the room gives on to the Denby Lodge mature gardens.  (22.5 sq.m./246 sq.ft.)

> From the living room a central hallway conveniently leads to …

> on the right: a black-and-white-themed, partially tiled fitted kitchen fully equipped with quality white goods (fridge, freezer, electric cooker/hob, washing machine, extractor fan) and which houses the wall-mounted combi boiler that provides the property's gas-fired central heating as well as its on-demand hot water supply. That quaint wall hatch opens onto the living room.  The room's quality insulating, double-lined vinyl floor covering is as pleasant as carpet underfoot.  (5.54 sq.m./61 sq.ft.)

> on the left: a black-and-white-themed, partially tiled bathroom fully equipped with white suite (washbasin, low-level WC, full-size bath with mixer shower), a second (electric) shower, heated towel rail, extractor fan, fittings [glass shelving, wall-mounted mirrored cabinet], anti-mould blind, plenty of storage space and the same insulating floor covering as in the kitchen opposite.  (4.3 sq.m./40 sq.ft.)

> Straight ahead: a sizeable, carpeted double bedroom with attractive triple-glazed dormer window fitted with crushed-velvet, 'blackout'-lined thermal curtains hung on a bespoke 'Swish' curtain track, two high, sloping ceilings and spacious built-in, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe and handy storage cupboard.  (20.97 sq.m./216 sq.ft.)

> Quality furnishings: three-seater couch, winged armchairs, dining table and four chairs, vintage sideboard, shelving units, double bed, pine chest of drawers, low tables, 1930's service trolley and cabinet, curtains, blinds, light fittings, mirrors ... certain other items such as table lamps are available on loan at no extra cost.
