Set within an attractive period building, this Rayne Road flat has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout, creating a stylish and low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers, professionals or investors.
The living space is warm and inviting, with exposed original beams and solid wood flooring adding real character, while contemporary wall lighting and a sleek layout keep the space feeling modern and fresh.
The open-plan living and dining area provides a perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining, flowing naturally into the kitchen.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with modern fitted units, integrated appliances and quality worktops, making it both practical and visually impressive.
There is also a separate area ideal for additional storage or wardrobe space, keeping the main living areas clean and uncluttered.
The bedroom is a calm and well-proportioned retreat, filled with natural light and finished in neutral tones that enhance the feeling of space.
The luxury shower room continues the high-end feel of the home, featuring a walk-in glass shower, stylish tiling, chrome fittings and a contemporary vanity unit.
The property also benefits from smart keyless entry, offering both security and convenience perfect for modern living or short-term letting.
Importantly, the flat comes with a share of the freehold and no service charge, making it a particularly attractive and cost-effective option compared to many town-centre apartments.
