About
A beautifully proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment set on the second floor of Chronicle Heights, a well-designed modern building on Olive Road, directly overlooking Gladstone Park.
With lift access and over 800 sq. Ft. Of lateral living space, this is a bright and comfortable home with an exceptional west-facing terrace and far-reaching views across the park.
The heart of the apartment is the generously sized open-plan kitchen and reception room.
Floor-to-ceiling glazed doors bring in plenty of natural light and open directly onto the enormous private terrace, creating a natural extension of the living space.
There is ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing, while the west-facing position makes it a particularly special place to enjoy afternoon sunshine and evening sunsets.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with Miele appliances, including an oven and induction hob, alongside modern integrated appliances.
A separate utility area houses an AEG washing machine, dishwasher, water tank and boiler, keeping the main living space practical and uncluttered.
The principal bedroom is an excellent-sized double with a dual-aspect outlook, generous fitted storage and its own ensuite shower room with a window.
The second bedroom is also a comfortable double and is currently arranged as a children’s room, although it would work equally well as a guest bedroom or home office.
There is also a large family bathroom with a bathtub, contemporary sanitaryware and a modern vanity unit.
Wooden flooring runs through the main living areas, with carpet in both bedrooms, while underfloor heating extends throughout the entire apartment.
Further features include double-glazed windows, good ceiling heights, a fully fitted alarm system and excellent security.
Chronicle Heights is an attractive detached, low-rise building arranged over only three floors.
