Presenting an excellent opportunity to acquire a purpose-built, one-bedroom first-floor apartment situated in a highly desirable NR1 location, directly adjacent to the striking and historic Lakenham Windmill. Approached via an external staircase leading to a private entrance, this property offers a well-proportioned layout spanning approximately 49.6 sq.m., providing a perfect blank canvas for those looking to add value and their own personal touch.
The internal accommodation begins with an entrance hallway equipped with a convenient storage cupboard and a separate airing cupboard. This leads into the heart of the home: a spacious lounge measuring 4.40m x 3.60m. This room features a large window that floods the space with natural light, offers a direct view of the historic windmill, and is currently finished with green carpeting. The separate kitchen provides a functional space with existing base and wall units, a stainless steel sink, and ample room for freestanding appliances, presenting excellent scope for upgrading and modernising to a contemporary standard.
The double bedroom is generously sized at 3.80m x 3.00m, offering plenty of space for a large bed and freestanding furniture, and also benefits from a window looking directly towards the striking windmill. The accommodation is completed by a bright bathroom, which features a modern three-piece suite including a bath, wash basin, and WC, finished with low-maintenance paneling and wood-effect flooring.
Externally, at the ground level, the property benefits from a low-maintenance gravelled area and a highly useful, secure brick-built storage shed equipped with timber doors. The property is heated via a radiator system visible in the lounge and kitchen, and its prime position next to the iconic windmill adds a unique historical charm to the setting.
