Why you’ll like it:

This unique, gated development centres around a former Benedictine convent and the designer has been careful not to destroy the character of the grounds by creating peaceful inner courtyards which as well as providing parking and cycle stores are also attractive as they are planted with trees. A wild life pond adds to the relaxed atmosphere and these exquisite apartments are in the imposing centre piece of the site.

Built in 1906, St Augustine’s Villa, now known as The Lees, has the generous proportions that its ecclesiastical architect Edward Goldie was known for, together with his sophisticated blend of sweeping bays and arches, and there is even a European inspired turret which has been sensitively incorporated into the innovative conversion.

The imposing front door has a grand glass arch above it and the lobby inside is clean and well organised with an inner door, secured by an answer phone, opening into a bright hallway with sensor lighting and a thick carpet leading up wide stairs to the first floor where this glamorous apartment to the left of a butterfly landing does not disappoint.

Inside a gracious living room has a sweeping, circular bay of the generous proportions of the Age of Empire bringing in open views which change with the seasons as the trees outside come into leaf and which provides the perfect place for a dining table. The ceilings are high and the oak underfoot continues into the working part of the room where the kitchen is discretely tucked away in its own space, with a second large window and plenty of ivory units with wood block counter tops. The touch induction hob and oven are sociably placed in the centre of the far run whilst the sink, integrated dishwasher and washing machine are to one side.

At the end of the hallway the luxury bathroom would not look out of place in a glamorous magazine, decorated in soothing colours with a shower above the contemporary bath and a heated towel rail close by so you feel properly pampered. Next door, the stylish bedroom has fitted wardrobes already in place for you and the broad windows are higher than usual and reach right up to the ceiling which makes the room feel very private as well as restful.
