IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You’ll love living in this tasteful apartment with décor that combines the best of vintage and contemporary style, with original and modern wood floors, charming features such as cast-iron fireplaces, cornicing, and energy-efficient double glazing. The handsome brick frontage and red front door open into a wide hallway that gives a great sense of lateral space. The spacious front living room is flooded with natural light from a large bay window with bespoke plantation shutters. There’s plenty of space here for sofas and a workspace, with a charming original fireplace as a focal point. The kitchen/diner is also generously sized and ideally designed for prep and dining. An extensive range of fitted cabinets provide ample storage and worktop space whilst leaving room for a large dining table, and a window over the sink provides lovely leafy garden views. The double bedroom is a serene sanctuary which has garden views, lots of storage space in a fitted wardrobe, and a feature fireplace,. The bathroom exemplifies the classic style of this property with white metro tiling, a patterned tiled floor and a traditional freestanding washbasin and WC, in addition to a bath with an overhead shower. Outside, you have your own section of the landscaped low maintenance garden. This is a sunny southwest-facing space with a smart paved patio, artificial turf lawn, mature planting, and a well-maintained timber fence.
