IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’d appreciate the stylish combination of vintage and contemporary features and the logical layout, including sash windows, wood floors, exposed brickwork, and modern fixtures and fittings. From the moment you come into the apartment through the first floor front door, you’d notice the sense of space and light. The apartment has windows on two sides thanks to its end of terrace location.

There are three large sash windows, two of which are in the spacious open plan living room. Measuring 16’2” by 15’11” this easily accommodates a lounge area and a dining table, in addition to the smart kitchen that lines one wall. With glossy white wall and floor cabinets, a metro-tiled splashback, and a combination of fitted and freestanding appliances this is well-equipped yet unintrusive. The stunning focal point of the room is the exposed brick chimney breast.

The double bedroom also has a large sash window and is a serene space with room for a large double bed. The bathroom is delightful, with monochrome metro wall tiles, patterned floor tiles, and a large modern shower enclosure. There’s also a WC and a spa-style washbasin parched on a vintage freestanding cupboard. An opening window provides natural light and ventilation. The property has gas central heating and has white and pale grey walls that give it a calm coherence and welcoming ambience.
