About
About the Home Rarely does an apartment offer the sense of independence and privacy found here.
Occupying the TOP FLOOR of the exclusive Clifton Lodge, this beautifully proportioned home is one of just four apartments within the building and enjoys the distinct advantage of its own PRIVATE ENTRANCE.
Rather than stepping into a communal hallway, you arrive through your own front door, creating an immediate feeling of coming home to a property that lives more like a traditional house than a conventional apartment.
From the moment you enter, the generous proportions become immediately apparent.
Extending to approximately 850 sq ft, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide comfortable, practical living while maintaining a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Every room has a wonderful sense of space, making this an ideal choice for those looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort, or for anyone seeking an elegant coastal home with room to relax and entertain.
At the heart of the apartment is the impressive living room, a wonderfully inviting space designed for everyday enjoyment.
Large windows allow natural light to pour inside, creating a warm and uplifting environment throughout the day.
Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening with a good book, hosting family for Sunday lunch or welcoming friends for drinks, the room offers the flexibility to accommodate every occasion with ease.
Its generous proportions ensure there's ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining area, making it the true social hub of the home.
The kitchen has been designed with practicality in mind, offering an excellent range of fitted cabinetry, generous worktop space and everything required for modern day living.
It is a room where preparing everyday meals is effortless while still providing plenty of potential for buyers wishing to add their own style over time.
The apartment continues to impress with two genuine double bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation and excellent versatility.
The DUAL-ASPECT PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is particularly noteworthy, with windows to two elevations allowing natural light to flood the room throughout the day.
It provides a peaceful and spacious retreat at the end of a busy day, while the second double bedroom is equally well suited for guests, visiting family, a hobby room or a dedicated home office.
Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed bathroom, complemented by the added convenience of a separate WC, a practical feature that enhances day-to-day living when entertaining visitors or accommodating family.
Throughout the apartment, there is an unmistakable feeling of quality, space and calm.
The layout has been carefully considered to maximise comfort, while the elevated top floor position offers both privacy and an abundance of natural light.
Combined with the rare benefit of a private entrance and the exclusivity of a building containing just four apartments, this is a home that stands apart from the ordinary.
For buyers seeking the ease of apartment living without compromising on space, independence or character, Clifton Lodge delivers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle that is every bit as comfortable as it is convenient.
