IF YOU LIVED HERE

You’d be impressed by the grandeur of your building every time you came home, from the striking exterior and entrance, to the generous proportions of your apartment, with its double height main living space and huge skylight windows. The apartment is spread over two floors, with a central hallway on the ground floor leading to the main open plan living room, second bathroom and guest bathroom, and the main bedroom suite on the mezzanine first floor.

The vast open plan main living space is a spectacular double-height room which measures 11’9” by 18’6” and is flooded with natural light from three large windows and huge glass skylights. The window are all north-facing, thus maximising light whilst minimising solar gain. A U-shaped kitchen occupies one corner, with sleek white units and contrasting glossy black worktops and integrated appliances. There’s plenty of space in the rest of the room for a dining table and sofas, making this the perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.

The main bedroom suite is located on the first floor, and the bedroom itself is on a mezzanine, with one side bordered by a glass balustrade which overlooks the main living space. At 22’1” by 22’4” there’s lots of space for a large, bed and full suite of bedroom furniture. The largely glass roof gives fabulous views of the sky and imparts an ethereal ambience to the space. The en suite bathroom and the guest bathroom below are both fully tiled, with modern suites including a bath with overhead shower, wall-hung WC, basin, and mirrored cabinet.

The apartment has the feel of an urban loft, and its carefully considered décor of whites, greys and natural wood which gives a coherence to the combination of original features such as the dramatic roof lights and newer sympathetic additions such as the school-style radiators and glass balustrades to the stair and mezzanine. The fantastic light levels and generous room sizes are a rare find, and more characteristic a more urban location.
