Why you’ll like it
In a handsome red-brick Victorian building close to Preston Park, this second-floor apartment has been beautifully renovated to create a bright, stylish home with a contemporary finish throughout. The property makes superb use of its top-floor position, with multiple skylights and angled windows that fill the rooms with light.

Inside, the open-plan living space sets the tone — with warm wooden flooring and crisp white walls, giving it an airy and modern feel. There’s plenty of space for lounging, while the smart fitted kitchen runs along one wall, featuring sleek white units, integrated appliances and marble-effect worktops for a polished, minimal aesthetic.

Both bedrooms are doubles, each with large windows that emphasise the light, open atmosphere. The bathroom continues the modern theme with slate-style tiling and a full white suite, including a bath with shower over it and chrome fittings.

Additional highlights include excellent built-in eaves storage and a well-planned layout that maximises every inch of the 712 sq ft floor area. With its move-in-ready presentation, this flat will appeal to professionals, first-time buyers, and investors alike.

Owner’s thoughts:
“I’ve loved how peaceful this flat feels despite being so central. The light from the skylights is amazing in the mornings, and everything from London Road shops to Preston Park is just a short walk away. Fiveways is only a five-minute stroll up the road, with a local butcher, grocer, Co-op, fine wine shop and a couple of pubs. It’s been a joy to live in and an easy property to maintain.”
