The property

Chesterton Towers is situated in the former vicarage garden of nearby St Andrew’s Church, Chesterton. The apartment blocks were built during the 1960s in the grounds of the Grade I listed two-storey 14th-century medieval tower, the former residence of Italian procurators of the abbot of Vercelli in Italy.

This is an opportunity to buy a two bedroom chain-free first floor apartment in a leafy private area just to the north of the River Cam and Stourbridge Common, which could also be an ideal investment with an anticipated £1450 monthly rent.

The apartment has its own front door into an enclosed entrance lobby with living room beyond. The bright and spacious living room benefits from ample natural light through the large double-glazed windows overlooking the Tower. Folding glazed doors can separate the kitchen or create a full open-plan space. The kitchen comprises tiled back-splash, a range of contemporary matching wall and floor cupboards, gas hob, electric oven, gas combi boiler, stainless steel sink and drainer, pantry cupboard, freestanding fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A laundry cupboard with the washing machine is on the edge of the kitchen and living room.
The inner hall leads to the bathroom and bedrooms, each with sliding door wardrobes. The bathroom is tiled around the bath and basin and includes shower screen, shower over the bath and heated towel rail.

Outside

The apartment block sits in the private grounds behind the Tower with private car parking spaces and garages beyond, of which one is allocated to the property. There is also a secure residents bicycle store. The delightful and pretty enclosed grounds are mature and well maintained.
