The property
Layout: In our 1-bed flats, you will have access to a double bedroom, open plan living room and kitchen, and bathroom. 2-bed properties have one double bedroom and an extra single room which can be used as a study, studio or storage space. The 2.5-bed maisonette boasts a spacious living room, kitchen and double bedroom, and has two smaller rooms upstairs which are perfect for office or storage spaces.
Outdoor space: In true ‘garden city’ style, you won’t want to miss striding out amongst the woodlands of Norton Common, a large local nature reserve perfect for stretching your legs on rambling weekend walks – and you might even spot some deer along the way.
Closer to the centre of town, you can enjoy taking a stroll in Broadway Gardens with its impressive fountain or visit Howard Park and Garden, created over 100 years ago as a central feature of the world’s first garden city. Particularly special during the spring for its bluebell woods, this green space is also a great spot to visit all year round for seasonal wildflowers and large open areas for relaxing with a good book and a picnic.
Parking/bike storage: You can store your bike inside the property. Parking is available on streets nearby but a parking permit is required.
