IF YOU LIVED HERE

You’d appreciate the generous proportions of this period apartment, with original features such as dado rails, picture rails, and cornicing rose alongside modern updates including double-glazed windows and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom.

The apartment is an excellent example of a conversion, with an intelligent layout that optimises the 457 square feet of living space and great light levels due to its location on the first floor of the building. A small central hallway leads directly to the living room, bedroom and bathroom so no space is wasted. The separate kitchen is at the rear of the apartment, accessed via the living room.

The main living space is a large square room measuring 12’11” by 12’3”. This room has great natural light from a west-facing window that has leafy garden views and plenty of space for a dining table and sofas. There’s easy access to the kitchen through an open doorway, so the space is ideal for relaxing and entertaining, with no dirty dishes in sight!

The kitchen is dual aspect and well-equipped. Its white cupboards, wood worktops and metro-tiled splashback give it a crisp, modern feel, and the two windows make it a pleasant space to spend time in, whether you’re preparing a meal or just making a cup of tea or coffee.

The spacious bedroom is at the front of the property. The south-facing bay window is the perfect spot for a desk and still leaves lots of room for a double bed and wardrobes etc. Next to this is the bathroom. This has a large walk-in shower and built-in high gloss white cabinets that provide storage space and house the washbasin and WC. White tiled walls, a mosaic tiled floor, heated towel rail and a mirror with a handy shelf combine to complete the hotel-style ambience.
