Syresham Gardens, The Gatehouse, RH16

Overview. Guide Price £260,000-£270,000. This is an excellent apartment, modern slick and perfect for a buyer who loves open plan living. In our opinion, there are quite a few features that set it apart from other one bedroom apartments. Firstly, we are big fans of the open plan sitting room and the kitchen, which is a great size. In the kitchen, there is more work surface and prep space than in many two bedroom apartments or even three bedroom houses. The spec is pretty impressive too. The integrated appliances are AEG, there is a boiling water tap by the sink, built in fridge/freezer, washer dryer, microwave, dishwasher and that all important wine cooler. The underfloor heating is a nice touch too. The real selling point is the impressive balcony. Wrapping around the sitting room and kitchen – 23 feet and along past the bathroom, it feels as though you are stepping out onto a roof top bar. In our opinion, the size of the kitchen and the balcony gives this apartment the cutting edge over many other apartments. By being top floor, there isn’t a cramped in feel of people being above you. The bedroom is a good size, whilst the bathroom is similar to the rest of the apartment, modern, slick and provides that excellent finish. There is also a large storage cupboard which is perfect to hide everything that you do not want on display. The Gatehouse was built in 2019 and buyers will have the peace of mind of the remaining NHBC warranty. The modern fresh exterior look is matched internally by the communal area and there is also a secure bike storage facility.
