Boasting generous proportions, this beautifully presented home is bathed in natural light thanks to its elevated position, offering a sense of privacy and views across the surrounding rooftops.

Rich in period charm, the semi-open plan reception room is a perfect setting for relaxing, dining and entertaining. Character features abound, with wooden floorboards throughout and a striking double chimney breast housing decorative fireplaces on both sides —cleverly defining the space into a welcoming lounge and a stylish kitchen-diner. The reception also benefits from a built-in window seat with storage beneath three sash windows —ideal for enjoying the twinkling city lights. The kitchen is designed with classic shaker-style cabinetry in a neutral finish, wrapping around to provide generous storage and surface space. With ample room for a dining table and the potential to add an island, it’s a versatile space well-suited to modern living and entertaining.

Tucked away at the rear of the property, both bedrooms are neutrally decorated and fitted with plush carpets and built-in wardrobes. One features an original fireplace, while the principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of a stylish en-suite shower room. Perfect for sharers or those seeking privacy, the bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on opposite sides of the apartment, with the main bathroom conveniently located beside the second bedroom.

Additional highlights include two spacious hallway cupboards providing excellent storage, and access to a rear residents’ yard equipped with secure bike storage.

The entire building was meticulously renovated 17 years ago with a focus on quality craftsmanship, including the installation of double glazing and sound insulation throughout—blending period charm with modern comfort.
