In more detail
Enter through the large original communal door and straight away the grandeur of the building is very apparent with the original tiled floor, the beautiful balustrade and the large stained glass windows as you rise the staircase to the first floor. Inside the flat now, through the personal entrance and into the south facing lounge .This is a really superb room always filled with light. High ceilings give an airy feel and there the very large, recently replaced timber sash bay windows help to give the feeling of space (replaced summer 2013). The attractive cast iron fireplace has pretty tiled inserts. This room offers scope for arranging furniture in various ways with easily enough space to use as a living room/dining room. Directly off the lounge is the well designed kitchen, again with a large timber sash (replaced at the same time as the bay windows). The kitchen is neat with space for appliances and marble working surfaces and the Viesnann gas boiler was put in around 4 years ago . At the rear of the building you'll find both bedrooms. The large master bedroom has bags of storage and another large window provides a very pleasant outlook over the gardens and towards the former coach house buildings in the Victorian cobbled news behind. Another reminder of this upmarket Victorian estate. There is a comfortable second bedroom with 2 useful recess storage cupboards. There is the added benefit of a share of freehold. The building is managed very well by the residents collectively. The service charge of just under £1,000 per annum helps keep money in the kitty towards any future decorations and or repairs. Viewing highly recommended.
