The apartment opens into a generous entrance hall from which the primary reception rooms unfold. Engineered flooring runs throughout, combining warm timber tones with dark stained boards underfoot. Positioned to the west of the plan, the principal reception room enjoys an elevated outlook. Walls in a deep inky blue are paired with crisp white trim and fitted shutters, which continue throughout the space. A painted timber fireplace anchors the room, softened by a glazed door opening onto a balcony, extending the room to the outdoors, framing views of the coastline beyond. The proportions hold both sitting and dining areas. Set to the south, the kitchen offers space for informal dining, set beneath of large window with framing views of the sea. Anchored by extensive cabinetry, notes of charcoal grey, timber tops and stainless-steel details introduce an industrial note whilst the panelled ceiling adds period character.
A large double bedroom sits besides, with a coffered ceiling and glazed door onto an additional opposing balcony, its easterly aspect drawing in morning light. Built-in cabinetry provides useful storage. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary palette, contrasting crisp white walls with a dark ceiling and black boards underfoot.
