Why you’ll like it
You get the best of both worlds here, where your surroundings are verdant and tranquil, yet the city, stations and beach remain accessible. From every room the windows frame views of leafy trees which change beautifully with each season, forming a lovely backdrop when waking or entertaining into the generous lounge.

Set back from the road, and elevated slightly, the building rises just four storeys with a neat façade in pale gault brick. Edged by colourful flowers and a well-maintained lawn, you approach up the drive where there is parking for your car. A secure entry phone system allows access, and a lift or stairs await to take you to the second floor.

Stepping inside, the natural light is immediately apparent as glazed transom windows allow borrowed light into the entrance hall which has deep cupboards for housing coats, shoes and household items. The décor is immaculately maintained in smart, neutral tones which will suit all styles of furnishing ensuring you can move straight in or let the flat out without changing a thing.

Tucked away from the main living space are two double bedrooms which sit side by side; each enjoying treetop views. The principal room is slightly larger but both have space for double beds and freestanding pieces without compromising on floor space. With the addition of double-glazed windows and a peaceful location, you can always ensure a restful night’s sleep.

At the end of the hall, the living room enjoys ample space for entertaining, formal dining and relaxation on a generous, soft furnishings. A wide box bay window looks out to the park, filtering in warm afternoon light through Venetian blinds. Conveniently next door, the kitchen is streamlined with white handle-free cabinetry providing plenty of storage alongside integrated appliances which will stay.

Contemporary and fresh in white with mosaic detail, the bathroom gleams with a full bath suite and a shower over it.

Agent’s thoughts:
This flat is both naturally light and spacious, plus the location is ideal for transport links and amenities.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘The location is beautiful with access to the park all year round for exercise, tennis, cycling, then in summer it is a wonderful space for gatherings and barbecues with friends – you really don’t miss having a garden of your own. The flat is also very comfortable and quiet, yet the location is convenient with Fiveways and Preston Circus amenities nearby.’
