Private entrance
Arranged over two floors
Two double bedrooms
Ample residents parking
Gas central heating
Glorious communal gardens

A two double bedroom property with unique front entrance, set within a characterful Victorian building and beautifully landscaped communal grounds.
The Dwelling
Charlton Down was created as a new village in 1997 and the three late Victorian hospital buildings were converted into apartments which became Redwood House, Greenwood House and Herrison House.
Accommodation
Beautiful covered stone steps lead up to the private front door and with no other property being above or below it, although a leasehold property, it very much feels like a welcoming and cosy house whilst having high ceilings and large sash windows. On the ground floor there is a South Westerly facing sitting room with central stone fireplace, fitted kitchen with under-stairs storage and a hallway. On the first floor are two light and airy double bedrooms with a white bathroom and the advantage of an en suite shower room to the master bedroom.
Outside
Ample residents parking, discreet refuse storage area and large landscaped grounds which are well-kept with a variety of mature trees and benches to sit and enjoy the grounds.
Situation
