Description
River Close is a small, bespoke development that was completed just over ten years ago by the well-regarded local developer, Hartbuild Ltd.  

The development comprised just seven dwellings; six houses and the subject property, a two double bedroom first floor freehold apartment.

The accommodation is exceedingly generous, extending to nearly 1,000 sq ft (90 sqm) in all and comprising a ground floor entrance lobby with stairs rising to a first floor landing that provides access into an impressive, light and spacious open plan multi-functional kitchen, dining and sitting room.  This principal reception area overlooks the roofscape of the village to the north, as well as across the gently undulating countryside to the south from the balcony area.  In addition there is the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom, bathroom and useful study area.

On the ground floor there is a large, open plan carport within which 1 River Close has dedicated parking for two vehicles.  The remainder of the carport is occupied by three of the neighbouring properties, with rights to park their vehicles by way of a long leasehold arrangement.  

Outside there is a small, hard landscaped garden area at the rear, overlooking a tributary of the River Deben, together with the communal, block paved parking area to the front that is shared with the neighbouring properties.  

Prospective purchasers should note that 1 River Close did suffer from flooding during Storm Babet in October 2023.  Since that event the vendor has renewed the home insurance, which includes cover for flood risk.  This year’s premium is £301.28.
