If you lived here

You’d enjoy the light and airy feel of this second floor flat, with views across the local neighbourhood. The layout maximises space and offers the best of lateral living, with the rooms arranged around a central hallway that has space for furniture to store clothes and shoes.

The large living room at the front of the property is conveniently next to the separate kitchen, with the bedroom at the quiet rear of the property and the bathroom in between. The living room has great natural light and leafy views thanks to large southeast-facing picture windows, and downlighters provide plenty of illumination. Measuring 13’7” by 12’10”, there’s plenty of space for a large sofa, dining table and workspace. The adjacent kitchen, connected by an open doorway, has an L-shape of fitted wall and floor cabinets with a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances.

The bedroom is a large double measuring 13’4” by 10’8” so there’s ample space for a large double bed and bedroom furniture. A large wardrobe is provided, and there’s space for a chest of drawers or dresser in the recess. This houses a picture window that frames extensive rooftop and garden views. The mainly tiled bathroom has a contemporary suite that comprises a bath with a shower and glass screen and a freestanding washbasin and WC.

The property is set back from the street, with a paved front garden and side access to the shared rear garden which has a large lawn and mature shrubs and trees.

The apartment is in excellent condition throughout with fresh, modern décor in subtle shades and contemporary fixtures and fittings.
