THE APARTMENT:
This ground floor apartment offers all the ease of bungalow living, but with the scale and elegance of a grand period home. Forming part of an impressive Grade II listed residence by architect E. J. May, the property sits within a handsome Old English style house created around 1886 for a member of the Barclay banking family, later converted in 2000 into just six luxury apartments. Original character is everywhere, from the decorative brickwork and timber detailing to tile hung gables, ornate bargeboards and wonderfully tall ceilings.

Inside, the apartment offers an expansive footprint of approximately 1,824 square feet, giving a real sense of space from the moment you arrive. The gently sloping approach provides easy, step free access into a generous porch with an attractive tiled floor and welcoming reception hall. There are two excellent double bedrooms, each fitted with wardrobes and its own en suite, creating a comfortable and practical layout. A bright kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with stylish cabinetry and a comprehensive range of appliances (several recently updated), is complemented by a separate utility room, ideal for laundry and extra storage. The large sitting/dining room features a charming bay window that looks out over the communal gardens, giving a pleasant, leafy outlook and a sense of privacy from the road.

One of the most striking features of this home is the substantial basement/cellar, extending to close to 1,000 square feet. Although not suitable for formal living accommodation, it has natural light and ventilation via three windows and offers superb scope for use as a studio, workshop, home gym or hobby space, subject to any necessary consents and works. Adding further appeal, the property also includes a detached, double garage with an electric up &over door, providing secure parking and useful extra storage.
