Hillside Road, St George

"We have loved our life in this brilliant space. Starting mornings chilled with coffee as the light streams into our kitchen, before wandering over Troopers Hill and down to the river. Finishing our days having an evening drink in our sun-trap garden, watching balloons float by. With so many layers and spaces, we have felt truly lucky to have this spacious, modern sanctuary."

The home

A beautifully considered two-bedroom maisonette with its own private entrance and courtyard garden located on Hillside Road in St George. Set across two floors and offering over 620 sq. ft. of accommodation, this home has been thoughtfully and recently renovated throughout with a confident design-led aesthetic that feels both contemporary and warm. From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is clear, herringbone flooring, soft neutral tones and contrasting deep blue woodwork combine to create a calm, cohesive feel throughout the property.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/living space on the first floor. Cleverly configured, the bespoke kitchen features timber worktops, integrated appliances and a striking breakfast bar with matching overhead canopy, creating a sociable and characterful focal point. Large windows flood the room with natural light, while the dining and lounge areas offer comfortable spaces to relax and entertain. At the back of the kitchen is a modern shower room finished in a clean contemporary style. The first floor is completed by a second bedroom/living room, mirroring the kitchen/dining area in terms of style and quality, plus a useful home office space before the staircase to the main bedroom.

Upstairs, the loft-converted principal bedroom is an inviting retreat with vaulted ceilings, skylights and useful eaves storage. The scale of the room allows ample space for wardrobes and additional furniture while maintaining a bright, airy atmosphere. The home also benefits from Wi-Fi enabled heating and radiators.

Note regarding share of freehold: There are no fees or charges associated with the property, or ground rent.

The outside space

Externally, the property benefits from a private courtyard garden — a low-maintenance and surprisingly secluded suntrap, ideal for morning coffee, summer dining or evening drinks with friends.
