Your new home


Step inside and there's a flank of exposed brick running down the left side, opposite smoky grey and white paintwork, split by an original dado rail. That covetable pale blonde herringbone hardwood runs underfoot and your stairs rise ahead.

We'll start by taking a right into your 230 square foot front lounge, wonderfully lengthy and lit by a bistro shuttered bay window, it's a superb social space with a light and airy feel. At the end there's a modest secondary corridor, leading to a wealth of cleverly integrated storage as well as your first bathroom.

This is skylit and striking, with a dramatic graphite suite including a corner rainfall shower, set against a backdrop of smoky grey letterbox tilework.

Moving on, we come to your 230 square foot kitchen diner, another impressive social space and once again full of light courtesy of a pair of ranked skylights, oversized Crittal style doors and a tall window at the far end.

Sleek facing flanks of soft pastel cabinets, home to a full suite of integrated appliances and downlit white worktops, artfully zone the kitchen area while that signature herringbone spreads out underfoot in the rest of the space.

Step out at the rear for your garden, a sixteen foot length of lush lawn running between high timber fencing and ending in that rare garden studio. Fully powered and insulated, and coming in at over seventy square feet, this is an indispensable addition for home workers, finished in the same herringbone and pristine white as the rest of the property.

Back inside, and upstairs to your three double bedrooms, all as bright and flawless as you'll expect by now, and ranging from eighty to a full 150 square feet. In between, bathroom number two is tiled from floor to ceiling in tranquil earth tones and home to a full length tub.

Upstairs again, past more classic exposed brick, and your dual aspect loft suite is another fine creation, with a trio of Velux windows facing the garden view and a wealth of recessed spotlights overhead.

Bathroom three is home to another graphite trimmed corner shower, while bedroom number five, yet another double, sits to the rear with a superb elevated garden view.

Just half a mile in the other direction and you come to Winchelsea Road, the heart of a loose gathering of cafes and bars under and around the local railway arches. Check out Pretty Decent Beer, Joyau wine bar, the much loved Wild Goose Bakery and more.
