If you lived here...

This striking red-brick period conversion makes an elegant first impression, framed by tall bay windows and softened by climbing greenery. A stone pathway winds through the generous front garden to a graceful arched doorway, where the original timber door and decorative brickwork hint at the home’s heritage.
Inside, the flow through the home feels natural and welcoming, with each space carrying a sense of calm continuity. The reception room is bathed in light from the expansive bay window, its white shutters and detailed ceiling rose lending character and refinement. The wooden floorboards bring inviting texture and depth, while the open layout encourages both relaxation and entertaining in equal measure.
The bathroom pairs gentle tones with darker accents for a look that’s modern yet soothing, complemented by a wooden vanity that introduces natural warmth. The bedroom continues this tranquil theme, its large window framing a leafy green outlook that shifts beautifully with the seasons. Bright, restful and understated, it offers a peaceful retreat from the day.
At the rear, the kitchen combines light cabinetry with warm neutral walls and distinctive hexagonal tiling, creating a harmonious and contemporary setting. Open shelving adds a personal touch, while the garden beyond draws the eye through the window and glazed door. Outside, the lush, elongated outdoor space unfolds into a private haven, complete with a raised deck and stone-paved terrace, perfect for quiet mornings or evenings spent under the trees.

A word from the owner...

We have loved living in this flat so much and it will be really sad to leave it behind, it is the cosiest home in autumn and winter and waking up to see the autumn leaves turning orange in the garden every morning is really beautiful. In summer, the garden is green and luscious and perfect for hosting and bbq’s - we regularly had our friends over for fabulous afternoons of food and wine and hope someone else can enjoy it as much as we have! The kitchen is a fabulous place to cook and enjoy a wine in over the weekend and then relax in the living room. Also on a sunny day, the living room is flooded with beautiful sunlight that just illuminates the room!
