The Grand Tour
A door opens into a hallway, leading into an airy open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Recently renovated, the owners have installed bespoke bookshelves and storage in the alcoves in the living space. The kitchen comprises white cabinetry set against grey worktops and off-white brick tiles. A window above the sink frames a beautifully green view over the building’s communal garden, while a pair of French doors lead to a generous balcony, with ample space for dining outdoors.
At the rear of the apartment is a large and voluminous south-facing bedroom. A tall bay window bathes the room in light throughout the day, highlighting its wonderful proportions and adding drama to the room. There are lovely features, including wooden floorboards, and a tall ceiling.
A bathroom sits in the centre of the plan, with clean-lined tiled walls and a bath.
The Great Outdoors
The apartment has access to lots of outdoor space with its own private balcony and use of the communal garden. The residents take great pride in the garden, recently planting some sedum and lavender.
The balcony has a fitted bench with built storage, as well as a sink for watering plants or keeping drinks cool in the summer. There is lots of space for pots and planters, with verdant views, it is a peaceful place for morning coffee or an evening meal.
