From the communal hallway, the door to the flat opens to an internal staircase which adds to the feeling of space inside. Light streams onto the landing from the kitchen and living room which sit side by side spanning the front of the property. It would therefore be possible to open these rooms up to create on large open plan space – certainly food for thought. Currently, the living room feels homely with a fresh neutral décor and space for comfortable furnishings and a small dining table to fit within the bay window. Next door, the galley kitchen has been well designed for the space allowing for plenty if eye level storage alongside space and plumbing for a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and an under-counter fridge – some of which may be available by separate negotiation.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, the bedroom looks out over the peaceful neighbouring gardens. It is a fine size double room with built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space, and once again, the decoration is fresh with white walls and grey carpet, so it is a blank canvas for new owners. Conveniently nearby, the bathroom is simply designed with white sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.
Uniquely, this property has a staircase leading to a loft room which would be ripe for conversion to create a second bedroom subject to planning permissions. It would require the addition of Velux windows and/or a dormer, but it would certainly add value in such a sought-after location.
