Elegant Two Bedroom Period Conversion with Stunning Communal Gardens - chain free.

Seeing is believing with this wonderful first-floor period conversion. Occupying the first floor of an attractive flat-fronted Victorian building on the beautiful Grove Park, the property enjoys leafy views to both the front and rear, along with access to exceptional landscaped communal gardens. Bright, spacious and beautifully presented throughout, the apartment combines elegant period proportions with stylish contemporary finishes. Accommodation comprises a superb open-plan reception room with impressively high ceilings and a beautifully appointed kitchen, two generous double bedrooms (the principal with an en-suite shower room) and a contemporary family bathroom.

The building is set back from the road behind an attractive shared front garden. Inside, the communal areas are exceptionally well maintained, with tasteful carpeting, an original staircase and large rear-facing windows flooding the space with natural light. The apartment's Banham-secured front door opens into an L-shaped entrance hall with wooden flooring and neutral décor. The impressive reception room spans the depth of the building, enjoying soaring ceilings and four large sash windows fitted with blinds. The comfortable rear-facing lounge overlooks the magnificent communal gardens and features a handsome gas fireplace (currently disconnected), creating an attractive focal point. Double-glazed sash windows to the rear enhance comfort and energy efficiency. To the front, the beautifully designed Poggenpohl kitchen enjoys leafy views over Grove Park and offers generous worktop space together with double-height storage cupboards and a bespoke larder cupboard. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, double oven and induction hob, making it as practical as it is stylish.

The beautifully maintained communal gardens are a genuine highlight of the property, featuring mature planting, exotic shrubs, a tranquil pond, several seating areas, secure bicycle storage and rear access onto Copleston Passage.

The principal bedroom also overlooks the gardens through another large sash window and benefits from a full wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes. Its stylish en-suite shower room includes a walk-in shower, wall-hung WC and quality Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware. Across the hall, the family bathroom features a contemporary suite beneath a charming original arched sash window. Both bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating, dual-fuel heated towel rails and integrated ceiling speakers with cabling returning to the laundry cupboard. A separate recessed utility cupboard houses the controls for the underfloor heating and provides practical laundry storage. Completing the accommodation is a second generous double bedroom overlooking the front of the property.
