Spacious, ground floor 2 bedroom Victorian conversion apartment with period features and modern amenities. Own entrance, own garden and allocated parking. Viewing essential!
Nestled on the ground floor of a charming Victorian conversion, this apartment offers a unique blend of period features and modern conveniences. With its own entrance, garden, and parking, this property feels more like a house than an apartment. As you step inside, the entrance hall greets you with bespoke cabinetry, providing ample storage and extensive bookshelving. The spacious sitting room boasts tall ceilings, a large bay window, and an open fire, all complemented by exposed floorboards and plantation shutters, which also feature in both bedrooms.
The master bedroom is generously sized, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, renewed four years ago. Overlooking the garden, it offers plenty of space for additional furniture and feels luxurious with so much space. The second double bedroom, located at the front, includes a built-in wardrobe and is currently used as a study and craft room. The main bathroom, updated three years ago, features a separate, double-ended bath and walk-in shower cubicle, along with a rather useful, large linen cupboard.
From the hall, a few steps lead down to the kitchen/dining room, where a feature glass brick wall allows natural light to flood in and doors open into the garden providing you with a lovely outlook and a seamless connection with your own outside space. The kitchen is equipped with a range cooker, microwave oven, and American-style fridge/freezer, all of which remain with the property. A larder cupboard provides additional storage. The basement, tanked in 2020, offers dry storage space, a utility room, and a cloakroom, with a door leading to further storage with restricted head height. For those downsizing from a home with a packed attic or garage, this storage really is a fabulous and quite unique asset.
The real strength of this apartment is of course having your own, enclosed garden with direct access from your kitchen. The garden has a paved patio for the perfect spot for enjoying meals outside and leads on to a level lawn with large flower beds and a raised bed, well-stocked with a wide variety of shrubs, perennials and spring bulbs. Gates to either side provide you with additional, practical access into your garden without having to come through your apartment.
The seller has cherished living here, enjoying the morning sun in the kitchen and main bedroom, and the afternoon and evening sun in the living room and of course, making the most of the garden and close proximity to The Pantiles and station. Overall, this property offers a modern and practical living environment, with thoughtful features and a convenient location.
