A charming two-bedroom apartment arranged over the ground and lower ground floors of an elegant period house. To the front of the property is a wonderfully bright and spacious living/dining room, flooded with natural light through a large sash window. The room enjoys high ceilings with attractive cornicing, while a feature gas fireplace provides a stylish focal point and a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.

A pair of large doors connect the reception room to the kitchen, allowing the space to be either separated or opened up to create an impressive open-plan layout, perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek two-tone gloss units providing ample storage, complemented by seamless work surfaces and quality integrated appliances. A large picture window frames attractive views over the rear garden.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, where there is also a useful storage cupboard accessed from the hallway. The property offers two generous double bedrooms, both served by a beautifully appointed bathroom. Planning permission was granted in 2025 for a full-width lower ground floor extension, offering excellent scope to further enhance the accommodation. Full details are available on the council website under planning reference P2024/1955/FUL.

Externally, the property benefits from a private section of the rear garden, where mature planting creates a wonderfully leafy and secluded oasis. A paved terrace provides the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. To the front, a small courtyard gives access to useful storage cupboards, formerly the original coal vaults.
