1 bed maindoor flat for sale in Hillside

Property highlight: Well maintained main door bay windowed Victorian flat situated in the ever popular area of Hillside.

52A Brunswick Street is an extremely engaging, well maintained and well-proportioned maindoor flat, forming part of a traditional stone built Victorian tenement building with period features. The property has been a much-loved home, owned by the same family for over 70 years and offers flexible accommodation. A series of steps leads down from street level to the patio area and main door, where there is an entrance vestibule, perfect for removing outer wear. There is a bay windowed sitting room to the front of the building with a sizeable mantlepiece with an open flame gas fire creating a lovely focal point in the room. Overhead, there is ornate cornice work with a ceiling rose. Overlooking the delightful west facing shared garden is the spacious kitchen / dining room which was opened up over 20 years ago to create a larger space. As such, the room can comfortably accommodate not only a dining table and chairs, but also a lounge area too. The kitchen area has wall and base mounted cabinetry, fitted with a gas hob, oven, washing machine and a side by side fridge/freezer. The double bedroom also benefits from the lovely outlook to the rear, with the original cast iron fireplace adding a charming feature along with further cornicing and a picture rail. There is also a sizeable boxroom in the middle of the flat with multiple power points. The bathroom has a bath (with shower over), WC and wash hand basin, completing the internal accommodation. Heating and hot water is provided by gas central heating. There is a lovely west facing shared garden to the rear of the property which can be accessed from a door that opens onto the communal hall and stair, and in turn the rear garden. Resident’s permit holder parking is available on the street outside in addition to metered parking.
