Property description


One of just four apartments in this handsome semi-detached Edwardian house, this one bedroom ground floor property comes with a parking space on the paved front drive and a 20ft private rear garden.

The apartment front door within the shared entrance lobby opens into a long hallway with doors to the living room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. With white walls and smart wood laminate flooring the décor maximises space and light, and leads seamlessly to the main living room. Extending to almost 20ft and with a large southeast-facing bay window, there’s ample space for a lounge area and a large dining table, and the elegant period proportions are showcased by a subtle pale taupe and white palette. The separate kitchen has a stylish hexagon mosaic floor and two walls of glossy fitted cabinets with integrated appliances. A window above the sink provides natural light and ventilation.

Located at the quiet rear of the property and with French doors to the garden, the spacious double bedroom is carpeted and easily accommodates a kingsize bed, large wardrobe, and other furniture. This is a calm and relaxing space thanks to its décor and leafy garden views. The conveniently adjacent bathroom is fully tiled, has an obscured glass window, and is fitted with a contemporary walk-in shower, washbasin, and WC. It also has a large floor cupboard with integrated washing machine and a heated towel rail.

The property is thoughtfully decorated and in good condition throughout and has double glazing, gas central heating, and good natural light thanks to windows on three sides and in all rooms including the bathroom.

Accessed via the gated shared side alley and directly from the apartment via French doors, the private garden has a deck, a large flower-bed (ready for planting), and is bounded by a fence and attractive decorated privacy screens. The garden beyond the screens has mature trees that provide a lovely green backdrop.

Offered chain free.
