Vendor's Comments "Living within Loft House has been an amazing experience, very sad to go! The neighbours are supportive and always on hand.
There is a joint WhatsApp group which gives a sense of community. The flat is very spacious and the lift close by is a great addition.
The high ceilings and open plan set up makes it perfect for entertaining and hosting friends and family.
I am able to separate each part of the flat from working space, kitchen area and the lounge area is perfect for movie nights.
Only 5 minutes’ walk from Gloucester Road is great, and with the recent opening of the train station nearby it is easy to pop into town.
The Co-Op across the way is ideal for last minute shop runs." Description Three large sash windows, impressively tall ceilings, and the southerly aspect ensure the room is filled with natural light through much of the day.
Engineer oak flooring spans the kitchen/living area and continues into the hallway, complemented by dark woodwork, presenting a smart contemporary feel.
Shallow steps lead to the second reception area, currently used as a lounge/diner. Also located from here is a cupboard, cleverly utilised as a home office.
Adjacent, the bedroom is a double, again with a large southerly facing sash window ensuring plentiful natural light, and comfortably able to accommodate a double bed.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching dark wood-effect base and wall-mounted units and a breakfast bar.
Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric hob and oven/grill. Complemented by a black sink with drainer and metro tile splashbacks.

Communal areas of the building are well-maintained, with a standout feature being the grand entrance hall with its herringbone flooring and period staircase offering a most impressive welcome to the building.
