About this property
Immaculately presented throughout
Recently renovated to a high standard
Two double bedrooms
Modern kitchen
Wrap-around gardens
Allocated parking
You know those apartments that completely take you by surprise? This is one of them. It’s on the ground floor, remarkably spacious, much more than the front door suggests, and beautifully thought-out so it feels both quietly luxurious and wonderfully secluded. Far from ordinary, it has been fully renovated by the current owners with artistic confidence and obsessive attention to detail, giving it a real sense of calm, character and flexibility.
There are two proper double bedrooms, a sleek designer bathroom and a gorgeous, light-filled lounge that spills straight out into your own garden. And what a garden, it wraps around the apartment, creating the feel of a Mediterranean courtyard, ideal for slow morning coffees or an evening drink as the sun fades, all in blissful seclusion.
The Tour
Step through the smart communal entrance and into your own private hallway, and it’s immediately clear that someone has thought carefully about how this space should work. Tall, full-length storage cupboards line the wall, ideal for hiding away coats, shoes and all of life’s necessary clutter. Just off the hall, the bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel: Striking contrasting colours, a walk-in shower, bespoke marble basin, modern WC and heated towel rail give it an unmistakably luxurious feel.
Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, flooded with natural light thanks to good sized windows looking onto the private rear garden. There’s ample room for king-sized beds and additional furniture, although each room also benefits from fitted wardrobes, making the space feel clean and streamlined.
The main living area is open-plan: A welcoming spot to stretch out in front of a film or curl up with a book. It’s also a dream for anyone who likes to entertain, flowing effortlessly into both the kitchen and garden, making that indoors-outdoors lifestyle completely achievable. The kitchen itself is beautifully designed, with modern cabinetry, contrasting prep surfaces and surprisingly generous storage, there’s even a larder-style cupboard to help keep the worktops clutter-free. Everything is integrated: A self-cleaning oven, fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, and a hob with a built-in extractor so there’s no bulky hood interrupting the view.
At the heart of it all is the central island, subtly anchoring the kitchen to the living space. With storage below and a marble-effect surface above, it happily seats four to six, equally suited to a solitary morning coffee, a romantic supper, or cocktails with friends.
The Exterior
It’s not often you come across an apartment with outdoor space worth getting genuinely excited about, but this is one of those rare exceptions. The private garden is cleverly divided into three distinct zones, creating the feel of a secret oasis rather than a typical outdoor “patch”.
The first has its own hidden, private gated entrance. The next, a relaxed, Mediterranean character, low-maintenance and sun-drenched, is perfect for unwinding with a book, hosting drinks or simply enjoying the luxury of peace and quiet, while seamlessly linking the living space to the outdoors. Mature pots and planting add charm without fuss, and there’s an undeniable sense of calm and privacy. Beyond a discreet gate lies the final section: Decked seating areas, raised beds for anyone with a greenish thumb, and a substantial timber shed to keep tools and outdoor kit tucked neatly out of sight. Thoughtfully positioned exterior lighting means you can set the mood exactly as you wish, whether it’s a lazy summer afternoon or a candlelit evening gathering. In short, it’s a remarkably private, tranquil garden, the sort of outdoor space you’d expect with a house, not an apartment, and a genuine rarity. To complete the picture, the property also benefits from its own allocated parking space
Additional information
