A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning maindoor flat. This much-loved home has been in the same ownership for over 45 years and has been lovingly upgraded to create a sophisticated and beautifully considered home. Elegant contemporary spaces combine effortlessly with a wealth of period features, including high ceilings, decorative cornicework, working window shutters, press cupboards and original flooring, creating a property of real character and distinction.

The front door opens into a generous vestibule, featuring an original terrazzo tiled floor, which in turn leads into a delightful wide hallway. The impressive bay-windowed sitting room is south facing and flooded with natural light, with a beautiful ornate cornice, working shutters and a feature fireplace with an attractive insert and hearth providing a focal point. A door leads directly from the sitting room into the stunning and spacious kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen is fitted with sleek, handle-less wall and base-mounted cabinetry, incorporating a five-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, with ample space for dining and entertaining in the generously proportioned dining area.

There are three delightful bedrooms, all filled with natural light. The beautiful principal double bedroom is positioned to the rear and features soft carpeting underfoot together with a stylish en-suite bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin set against a polished concrete floor. The second double bedroom is also located to the rear and features a charming fireplace in the corner, while the third bedroom enjoys a lovely leafy outlook to the front of the property.

A modern shower room is conveniently located off the hallway and features a large walk-in rainfall shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin and wall-mounted illuminated mirror.

The property benefits from gas central heating, providing heating and hot water, while residents' on-street permit holder parking is available on the street immediately outside.

To the front is an attractive, low-maintenance private garden, enjoying a south-facing aspect and enclosed by established hedging. To the rear, double doors from the kitchen provide direct access to a well-kept shared rear garden, offering a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy. With St Margaret's Convent directly opposite and no flats behind, the property is not overlooked from either the front or the rear.
