Why you’ll like it:
Reigate House is an attractive apartment building converted from a substantial 1930s house in the prestigious Tivoli area to the east of Dyke Road. This attractive flat holds a unique position on the lower ground floor, yet it has sole access to two courtyard gardens and a raised decked garden to the rear, all of which almost doubles the overall footprint for summer entertaining.

Stepping inside from the communal ways, it is immediately clear the space has been renovated and decorated by those with a refined eye for colour and interiors. It feels warm and homely, yet modern and stylish with block colour walls and streamlined fixtures and fittings.

The eye is first drawn to the open plan living space which feels light and airy with large windows and doors on its eastern and southerly elevations opening to the first courtyard garden. Inside, there are clearly defined areas for relaxed seating and formal dining alongside the kitchen. This is contemporary with fully integrated appliances and ample worktop space, so you can move straight in with ease. Wood floors and burnt-orange walls bring warmth and colour, while recessed LED lighting sets the mood.

Moving through the flat, the bathroom sits centrally with crisp white sanitaryware and useful modern cabinetry below the basin. There is a shower over the bath and stylish white brick tiles bring form and function to the space.

Next door, the bedroom is a cosy double with built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space. During the warmer weather, French doors open to the front courtyard which catches the afternoon sun and is perfectly private from the street while allowing natural light to filter down into the bedroom. This is a charming spot to sit out with a nightcap or your morning coffee at the weekend.

Stepping outside at the rear of the property, steps rise from the first courtyard to the upper decking which has ample space for summer soirees and dining alfresco. It is elevated to catch the sunshine right through the day and is a wonderful extension of the home with access to the side of the house, so bikes can be brought in without taking them through the communal ways.

Agent’s thoughts:
This flat is beautifully presented with a quality finish throughout. For professionals looking to live in a peaceful home, close to excellent transport links and with easy access to the city, this is ideal.

Owner’s thoughts:
‘We have really enjoyed renovating the flat and making it our own. It is really peaceful here, yet you are really well-connected to the city, so you get the best of both worlds, and the commute to London is a breeze.’
