An elegant two bedroom apartment set within a distinguished Edwardian building in a peaceful yet highly accessible location

Description

This impressive two bedroom apartment is situated at the end of a peaceful, tree-lined road, offering a rare combination of tranquillity and excellent accessibility to the city centre. Built circa 1900, this distinguished Edwardian residence has been thoughtfully converted to provide a small and exclusive collection of apartments.

The communal entrance is both grand and inviting, featuring a striking Arts & Crafts stained glass window composed of nine individual panels. An ornate staircase rises to the first floor, where the apartment is located. The sitting room is a particular highlight, benefitting from full-height, dual-aspect shuttered windows facing south and east, which flood the space with natural light. A beautiful tiled period fireplace provides an elegant focal point to this generously proportioned and welcoming room.

The kitchen is well designed and fitted with an excellent range of cabinetry, complemented by integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, creating a practical yet sociable space.

The principal bedroom is generously sized and well appointed, with fitted wardrobes, additional freestanding wardrobes included, and a private en suite shower room. The second double bedroom is equally appealing and is served by a well-positioned bathroom. A useful storage cupboard is located off the hallway.

Externally, the property benefits from a private driveway shared by residents, with an allocated parking space.
