About
A beautifully designed garden apartment arranged over two floors, combining period character with high quality modern finishes.
Description This attractive and thoughtfully arranged apartment extends to approximately 926 sq ft and is set across the upper ground and lower ground floors of an elegant period building, with its own private entrance discreetly positioned on a side road.
The upper ground floor accommodation is dedicated to the main living space, comprising a bright and generous reception room with a large, traditional window, retained period features and excellent ceiling height.
A newly installed kitchen integrates seamlessly into the living space, creating a contemporary yet characterful environment for both day to day living and entertaining.
A stylish WC completes this level.
The lower ground floor hosts two well proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from good natural light, alongside a newly installed modern bathroom finished to a high standard.
The layout works particularly well for both couples and sharers, separating living and sleeping accommodation across two levels.
Uniquely, the property’s entrance leads directly into a private, decked, south-facing garden, providing a rare and appealing outdoor extension to the living space.
