STEP INSIDE Stepping into this beautifully appointed apartment, you are immediately met with the charm and character that defines this historic former Truman brewery building. A welcoming hallway sets the tone, offering a sense of space and calm before leading you into the heart of the home - the generous sitting room (17'5" × 10'5"). This bright and inviting room, with its well proportioned layout, provides an ideal setting for both relaxed evenings and hosting guests. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the adjoining dining area (11'6" × 9'9"), a versatile space large enough to accommodate a full dining suite while still feeling connected to the living area, creating a sociable and cohesive environment.

The clean, modern lines complement the building's heritage perfectly, offering a well equipped and practical area for cooking and everyday living.
Returning to the hallway, you'll find Bedroom One (11'1" × 10'11"), a comfortable and well proportioned double room that benefits from its own en suite (5'7" × 5'0"). This private shower room has been finished to a high standard, featuring a shower, fitted storage units, and a refined contemporary aesthetic highlighted by black taps, a matching black heated towel rail, coordinated unit top, and elegant marble effect flooring - all working together to create a boutique, hotel style feel.

The second double bedroom (10'9" × 10'5") offers excellent versatility, ideal as a guest room, home office, or additional bedroom, and is conveniently positioned near the main bathroom (8'4" × 7'7"). The bathroom includes a corner with integrated spa jets, fitted vanity unit with inset sink, and WC, offering a comfortable separate space for family or visitors. 

STEP OUTSIDE There is one allocated parking space as well as visitors parking.
