Mount Sion, Cecil Court, TN1

This charming, 3 bedroom apartment is situated within a handsome Grade II listed building, offering a blend of stunning period features and more modern updates. Conveniently located in the coveted “Village” area of the town, within a short walk to the mainline station, parks, shops, restaurants, The Pantiles, and Claremont Primary School, this property is ideal for those seeking a convenient location from where to enjoy all the benefits of town life yet in a relatively peaceful setting.

The apartment is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, providing versatile living spaces to suit your needs and feels almost as if you are in a house, rather than an apartment once you are inside. It is light-filled and elegantly presented, showcasing beautiful period features such as tall ceilings, ornate cornicing, timber sash windows, picture rails, and original wooden shutters. The current owner has meticulously updated the accommodation, ensuring it is immaculately presented throughout.

Upon entering the building, the communal entrance hall sets the tone, being lovely and light with a door leading through to the rear garden and parking. Your own personal entrance hall, on the ground floor, has space to hang coats and the turned staircase is the perfect place for your favourite artwork to take centre stage. The stunning reception room features a woodburner and floor-to-ceiling sash windows with original shutters, offering a double-aspect view over the communal gardens and over the rooftops and treetops beyond. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs as well as your seating area, but with three bedrooms, you have flexibility to use all three as bedrooms or one as a second reception room if preferred. Also on this entrance level, are a double bedroom with tall sash window, shutters, picture rail and cornicing, and the bathroom which is fitted with a heritage-style suite and features a roll-top bath with drench shower over.

The stairs lead down to garden level with useful storage beneath the stairs and a further, walk-in storage cupboard which is incredibly useful for suitcases, Christmas decorations and more. Here you will find the kitchen, refitted in 2021, and boasting quartz work surfaces, a breakfast bar, and integrated appliances including an electric oven and hob, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. The window to the side of the kitchen overlooks the communal garden and our seller tells us this is regularly used to pass food out to friends and family for dining with them al-fresco in the summer months. The master bedroom is a generous double room with dual aspect overlooking the gardens and has a built-in wardrobe and ample space for additional, freestanding furniture. There is another double bedroom on this level at the front of the building, providing plenty of space for every day family life or guests to visit.

Outside, this attractive property has its own balcony following the curve of the bow window of the living room and our seller loves nothing more than to enjoy a morning coffee amongst the birdsong of the trees behind and loves the views from this vantage point. The communal gardens are predominately laid to lawn, wrapping around the rear and side of the building with well-stocked flower beds and our seller tends to use the area to the side on a regular basis throughout the summer as feels so private, tucked away to the side of her apartment. There is a communal parking area with each apartment having space to park one car each as well as space for visitors too.

This super property simply must be viewed to truly appreciate this special location and all the charm of this lovely home.
