If you lived here...

This handsome period conversion has plenty of kerb appeal, with traditional brickwork, tall bay windows and ornate detailing. A private entrance sits beneath a decorative archway, with a tiled step and greenery adding a welcoming touch. Inside, the first floor unfolds with a bright, central hallway, softly carpeted and offering room for furnishings, as well as a built-in cupboard for storage. The layout flows naturally from one space to the next, with a soft glow filtering through from the reception.
The kitchen/diner sits to the rear and offers a lovely balance of function and charm, with warm patterned flooring, natural wood cabinetry and deep green walls creating a rich, inviting atmosphere. A wide window frames leafy garden views, making the dining area a particularly pleasant spot. The bathroom is crisp and contemporary, with geometric flooring, white metro tiles and a frosted window for added privacy.
There are two bedrooms, each with their own character. The larger is calm and well-proportioned, featuring a full wall of fitted wardrobes and garden outlooks, while the second is bright and neatly arranged with plenty of scope for storage. At the front of the home, the reception is spacious and full of daylight, thanks to the generous bay window and pale timber floor. Outside, you’ll find your section of the garden framed by mature planting, with a paved patio, shed and part of the lawn providing space to relax, dine and enjoy the open air.

A word from the owner...

"We have lived here as a family for 14 years but I have lived here for almost 30. I love the flat - it is spacious and bright and in a fantastic location. It's easy to walk to the shops, the tube or the local schools. It's great having a kitchen you can sit in and having our garden is fantastic. Despite being close to everything the area is quiet. I will miss living here it's been my home for so long but we need more space as our son grows up."
