Lifestyles come in many forms, but the ones that last are built around ease, light and spaces that simply work. This home is a quiet example of that philosophy - set right in the heart of Addlestone, yet offering a surprisingly calm, considered retreat once you step inside.

From the outside, Southam House reflects its early-1970s origins - purpose-built, design-led and defined by generous window proportions - but crossing the threshold tells a completely different story. This home has undergone a full and thoughtful refurbishment, where considered design choices shape the space throughout. Fresh white walls throughout immediately lift the space, allowing natural light from the newly installed windows to bounce effortlessly from room to room. With its own entrance hallway, complete with thoughtful storage options, the apartment immediately feels bright, airy and welcoming.

The layout has been intelligently reimagined into a corner-layout flow that feels both practical and pleasing. A newly fitted galley-style kitchen makes exceptional use of every inch, with clean lines, modern units and subtle floor tiling that clearly defines the cooking and dining zone. This space opens naturally into a long peninsula breakfast bar with stools - designed to double as a dining area - finished with matching worktops that create a seamless, visually calm transition.

Beyond its role as a place to eat, this peninsula becomes something more during the day. Additional cupboards, matching the kitchen units and fitted both above and below, transform it into a dedicated home-working hub - tucked neatly away, yet always part of the flow of the home.
Carpet softens the living area, creating a gentle shift in mood as you move through the space and into the hallway, where a cleverly concealed utility cupboard houses the washer/dryer neatly out of the kitchen while providing valuable storage. This leads to the beautifully appointed shower room, which continues the sense of quiet luxury with a new walk-in shower and feature lighting that elevates everyday routines into something a little more indulgent.

The bedroom is calm and notably generous in size, and like the rest of the flat, designed to be immediately liveable. All furniture, including wardrobes, can remain if desired - making this a genuine, ready-to-move-into home.

Step back outside and you’re instantly connected to the rhythm of central Addlestone. Cafés, shops, restaurants, green parks and everyday essentials are all close at hand, while strong transport links keep commuting simple. Dedicated parking adds another layer of practicality - an often-overlooked luxury in such a central setting - while well-kept communal gardens provide a shared outdoor space to enjoy a moment of fresh air or a change of scenery close to home.

This is a home that quietly rewrites expectations. Proof that with imagination, care and intelligent design, even the most modest architecture can be transformed into light-filled spaces that support modern living with ease.
