SORRY NO HEN/STAG GROUPS SUNDOWNER: Situated in the village of Howells Mere, this professionally designed 3 x bedroom first floor apartment offers stunning views of Swillbrook Lake and Nature Reserve beyond. Sitting on the banks of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), this results in the most glorious of uninterrupted views and spectacle of resident birds and wildlife – from families of swans, moorhens, coots, and otters, the lake also has a visiting family of osprey in a quiet corner. The large private balcony is covered and is a space to be utilised during any point of the day. This private and secure balustraded area is large enough to house both a separate outdoor dining space for 6 – 8 people, plus a comfy sofa and chairs to enjoy your morning breakfast or fresh coffee. However, it is late afternoon when the balcony really comes alive - providing the perfect spot from which to sit back and relax with family and friends, when finally, the sun drops below the horizon having given you the most stunning of sunset. The property is reached by accessing the private coded apartment building. With space to kick off wellies and coats and to a spot to leave your bikes, it’s a lovely and sympathetic space. Being a first-floor apartment, please note that there is a staircase to ascend before you get to the front door. BEDROOMS: Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by a long entrance hallway with some lovely welcoming features that instantly allow you to relax and unwind. To the right is the first of the 3 bedrooms; the triple bunkbed room (double bed with full size single above). With a double integrated wardrobe, stylish design and a futon that can be made into an additional single bed for a child or small teenager, straight away you are offered a place for calm and peacefulness. A further bunkbed with 2 full size single beds can be found in the next bedroom, adjacent to the family bathroom with bathtub and shower above. The master bedroom has a double bed, integrated double wardrobes, and a walk-in shower ensuite wrapped around great design and stylish handpicked artwork – a theme that is followed throughout the entire apartment. LIVING: The lounge and living space are the hub of the property and is once again carefully and thoughtfully laid out. The large sofa, beanbags, and a further two armchairs, offer guests a space to converse and relax in each other’s company, whilst enjoying an environment that feels personally hand selected and loved with guests’ enjoyment at its centre. The well-equipped -and appointed - kitchen is part of the fully open plan living design, alongside a dining area for 7/8 people. Natural light pours through the glazed floor to ceiling balcony doors – opening these doors fully allow a continuation of the entertainment space and living area. Due to the apartment’s aspect and raised level, this further affords light to envelope the entire room depending on the time of day – from the bright midday sunlight to an amber hue as the sun begins to goes down.
