The kitchen
An open plan kitchen anchors the main living space and is designed for both cooking and entertaining. Sleek navy and white cabinets conceal high quality appliances, while a mirrored splashback and quartz topped island with breakfast bar create a focal point. Gold tone fixtures and under cabinet lighting add a luxurious touch, and a run of units along one wall leaves the centre clear for movement into the adjoining dining and sitting areas.

The living area
The living area completes the open plan space as a relaxing zone for everyday life. A feature wall frames the entertainment area and pendant globe lights draw the eye upward to the high ceiling. Two tall sash style windows bring in views of the surrounding heritage buildings.

The entrance hall
Stepping into the apartment, a broad entrance hall sets a welcoming tone and guides you into the principal rooms. Wood flooring runs underfoot and the high ceiling enhances the feeling of space, complemented by contemporary pendant lighting and a full height wall mirror. From here, doors lead to both bedrooms and the bathroom on one side and to the open plan living area ahead.

The primary bedroom
The principal bedroom offers a calm retreat at the end of the day. Two tall multi pane windows overlook the historic street scene and a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes with mirrored doors provides generous storage. A chandelier and coordinated wall lights emphasise the high ceilings, and there is space for a dressing table. This room is set off the hall for privacy.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom provides versatile accommodation for guests, a child or for working from home. A sizeable window looks over the inner courtyard and generous floor space beneath a sculptural pendant light allows flexible furniture arrangements. The wood flooring continues from the hall and neutral walls make it easy to personalise the room, which sits conveniently close to the bathroom.

The bathroom
The bathroom is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and functionality. Fully tiled walls and floors surround a contemporary white bath with overhead rainfall shower and glass screen, while a wall mounted vanity unit integrates the washbasin with storage. A concealed cistern WC and chrome heated towel rail enhance the sleek finish, and a large mirror with recessed lighting gives the room a bright, polished feel.

The communal entrance
Residents and visitors are welcomed through a distinctive communal entrance. Curved plastered walls and mosaic style tiled flooring create an elegant foyer beyond the heavy wooden double doors. Contemporary ring lighting adds style and secure access provides peace of mind before you proceed to the apartment via the stairwell or lift.

The terrace
Positioned beside the apartment entrance, the private terrace provides a sheltered outdoor seating area for everyday use. Characterful red brick walls surround the space, while the durable surfaced floor and integrated planters create an attractive setting for container planting. With room for seating and decorative pots, it offers a pleasant spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation close to the communal roof garden.

The communal garden
Beyond the apartment, residents enjoy a beautifully landscaped communal roof garden. Extensive timber decking wraps around raised Corten steel planters brimming with shrubs and ornamental grasses, while a pergola provides structure. Steps lead up to this elevated oasis and a sculptural water feature adds interest. The space offers views across the city and fosters a friendly community atmosphere.

The parking
The apartment comes with its own allocated parking within the building’s secure undercover car park. The bay sits beneath a sturdy metal roof, bordered by heritage brick walls, and is clearly marked. Residents enter through a secure gated access point that affords peace of mind and convenience for daily life, with easy access to the communal entrance nearby.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
