Why you’ll like it:
Roundhill Conservation Area has an air of ‘cool’ and a unique energy much like its hilly neighbour Hanover. It is home to a diverse and welcoming community with a mix of families and professionals of all ages and being just ten-minutes from the North Laine Shopping District keeps it well connected to the creative heart of this cosmopolitan coastal city. Its pretty Victorian terraces and crescents only add to this appeal, and this apartment is a real gem amongst it all.

From the moment you step into the communal ways, the scale of the building and its beautiful features become apparent. Well-maintained by the freeholder, the entrance is a welcoming space to arrive home to, with stairs leading up to your door on the first floor. Stepping inside, your eye is immediately drawn to the living room where natural light streams in through three full-height windows which open to the cast iron balcony from both the living area and the kitchen which is open plan to the room. The views never tire, looking out across the city to the racecourse in the east, where the skies light up with colour during sunrise.

The ceiling soars, adorned with the original cornicing, while the skirting boards are deep as both wend their way around the room. Pale carpets and duck-egg blue walls brighten the room further, where there is ample space for both formal dining and relaxed seating without compromising on floor space. Open plan to the room, the kitchen has been designed using a modern take on a Shaker style.

The striped-trim worktops offer plenty of space for food preparation and open shelves add to the feeling of space. While the oven and gas hob are integrated, space has been left for a freestanding fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine which may be available by separate negotiation.
The high ceiling continues into the bedroom next door which looks out over the peaceful neighbouring gardens. This is a lovely double room, painted in restful tones, with space for a king bed plus several pieces of freestanding bedroom furniture. Soft carpet adds warmth and comfort to the space and the bathroom is easily accessible. This is classic in white with a shower over the bath and contemporary sanitaryware and fittings, so you can add a pop of colour with toiletries and towels.

Agent’s thoughts:
This area is fantastic for anyone needing easy access to the city or the universities. The flat is wonderfully spacious and incredibly well-presented, so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s thoughts:
“It is so convenient living here with the city on your doorstep, and despite our hillside position which gives us glorious views, it’s all on the flat should you wish to walk or cycle to the beach or the North Laines from here.”
