Unit 313 Quiet Woman Way, Stoke, Nelson

Village charm and so affordable

Come home to Monaco village, warm and secure in your craftsman-built cottage-style apartment set in landscaped English gardens with resort style facilities at your doorstep.

One of the few freehold properties, this affordable 'Riverside Cottage', strongly built of permanent materials and gorgeous timbers, offers affordable living with two double bedrooms, sun and elevated views from one-level upstairs living, heating comfort throughout, luxurious bathroom and contemporary kitchen.

Parking (not a garage) right outside your door and plenty of outdoor visitor parking too and although you will not have an outdoor balcony of your own you'll love what's available to you with the unique village surrounds of rose lined paths, picnics on the green - or launch your kayak at the Monaco seafront. Enjoy the friendly neighbourhood atmosphere with evening drinks in The Monaco Kitchen courtyard, and then dinner in the restaurant.

The English village setting is enchanting, from the private entry, through the pedestrian friendly 'streets' with terraced houses either side, appealing with frontages of hand-made bricks and with shingle-roofed porches and carriage lights.

Attention to detail and materials lifts the cottage building quality well above the norm. With brick front and party walls hand-plastered over concrete block; you have the solidity of permanent materials, thermal mass for cool summers and warm winters and acoustic qualities to make for a quiet, peaceful home.

Add the beauty of black poplar timbers in deep window sills, architraves and stair rails and elm doors, and terracotta tiling and your 82m² home is full of character.

Open-plan living with space for lounge and dining settings and a niche for a desk. Sun pours in through dormer-type windows at either end, with an elevated outlook. The carpet throughout is brand new.

Bedrooms are spacious doubles; the master bathed in morning light, and the bathroom is a delight with its deluxe marble-look full-height tiling.
