With a secure shared entrance and well-lit stairwell, in addition to a communal reception hall, the front door to the apartment opens into a welcoming hall with two storage cupboards and a handy WC. At the end of the hall, a glazed door opens into a generous reception room providing flexible floor space for relaxing, socialising, and entertaining. Flooded with natural light, the room enjoys a south-facing aspect, charming uplights, and fitted bookshelves with a countertop for display items. An electric fire is cleverly incorporated into the shelving. A semi-open plan dining room is sat adjacent conveniently beside the kitchen, offering ample floor space for an 8+ family dining table. Well suited to convivial evenings and formal dinner parties, the room also features wall-to-wall internal glazing (looking into the hall) and patio doors to a charming balcony with a view of the garden. The neighbouring breakfasting kitchen has a homely design, fitted with white wall and base cabinets with timber-style trim and matching wood-styled worktops. Accessible from the hall and the dining room, it comes well-appointed with a neat breakfast bar and a range of appliances. On the opposite side of the hall are three airy double bedrooms presented in white with snug fitted carpets for comfort. The generous master bedroom boasts a large built-in wardrobe and wall-to-wall fitted drawers covered by a sizeable countertop. The second bedroom enjoys spacious proportions as well, in addition to a built-in wardrobe. Presently used as a study is a third bedroom that could be used as a double. Finally, a fully-tiled bathroom comes with a three-piece suite, including an overhead shower with a glazed screen and a chrome towel radiator. Further benefits include double glazing and electric storage heaters. Accessed from a communal hall, the apartment also enjoys a sprawling shared garden. To the front of the property, there is a ground-level tandem garage, which includes a sizeable store room.
