Spanning over 1,500 square feet across the ground and upper ground floors of a characterful Period building, this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment—with an additional study—boasts a large, mature private garden, off-street parking for two cars, and a wealth of period charm, including high ceilings and original features.
Entering through a private entrance into a wide hallway, you’re led directly into a bright and spacious living room. Large Victorian sash windows with bespoke shutters allow natural light to flood the space, highlighting the feature fireplace and elegant cast iron radiators. The room is decorated in a clean, neutral white that accentuates the architectural details. From here, the layout flows seamlessly into a generous kitchen, complete with a substantial island, spotlighting throughout, and high-end appliances—including a Siemens stove—making it a perfect space for both cooking and entertaining.
Wooden double doors open from the kitchen into a charming conservatory, an ideal spot for morning coffee or relaxed reading. Beyond lies the impressive west-facing garden, backing onto the park and designed over two levels: the first a paved patio, the second an expansive landscaped area featuring mature shrubbery, flower beds, and multiple seating areas. Created by the late Susan Collier, the renowned textile designer, the garden is a vibrant, private oasis offering colour and interest year-round. A side gate provides direct access to street level.
Before heading upstairs, you’ll find a versatile study area with views over the garden, along with a convenient shower room and WC with additional utility space on the same level.
Upstairs, you’re welcomed by a striking vintage-style bathroom, decorated in a fashionable pink with a freestanding bathtub, traditional white porcelain sink with chrome fittings, and exposed plumbing. Wooden floors add warmth and a touch of rustic charm to balance the playful palette.
Both bedrooms on this level are exceptionally large, featuring soaring ceilings, double sash windows, and bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. The rear bedroom includes a stylish fireplace, adding yet another layer of character to this unique home. Throughout the upper level, hardwood flooring ties the rooms together with timeless appeal.
