Property Insight:
If you’re looking for a stylish apartment in the heart of town – this property fits the bill perfectly! Located in the Paynes Park area, Poppy House is a small and exclusive development of just 12 properties built in 2021.
The apartment appears stylish and well-maintained from the moment you step inside. Beautiful wooden flooring features in the hallway and living area and warm neutrals are a theme throughout. The entrance hall features a large storage cupboard - ideal for storing coats and shoes or hiding away any clutter. Leading off from the entrance hall is the spacious, open plan living/kitchen/dining area. The space feels distinctly contemporary with its forest-green feature walls and LED lighting.
The modern kitchen features sleek, high-gloss pale grey cabinetry, white subway tiles and stylish chrome sockets. The appliances are integrated and include an induction hob, electric oven with wall-mounted hood and a fridge-freezer. There’s also a decent amount of storage space. However, if you fancy a night off cooking, there’s a multitude of international restaurants available right on your doorstep!
The sitting/dining area has space for a large, comfy sofa and other furniture which can configured to suit your needs – whether that’s a dining table and chairs or a kitchen island - making it a space that’s as great for entertaining friends as it is for relaxing after a day at work. The double windows introduce plenty of natural light, making the room feel spacious and bright.
The principal bedroom is another airy space which feels wonderfully calming and is spacious enough to accommodate all the furniture you need. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double which is lovely and bright thanks to being dual aspect.
The contemporary bathroom is fully tiled with marble-effect wall tiles. It features a full-sized bath with shower over and a glossy grey, wall-mounted vanity unit. It’s an appealing space which feels stylish and modern.
A fantastic asset of the property is the private balcony with views over the town. With room for a table and chairs as well as planters, it provides a great opportunity to enjoy dining outside during the summer months.
Located a 20-minute stroll from the station, this well-presented apartment has plenty to offer and would make a fantastic purchase for first-time buyers or investors.
