Rooms

Hall
A well-kept common stair, with door entry system, leads to the top landing. Being closest to the cupola means that you have something approaching a greenhouse at your disposal and buyers with green fingers may wish to follow the sellers’ example and make the final few steps to the property ones that have a pleasant horticultural feel to them. The room takes light from a transom light over the wooden entrance door and the other apartments. The traditional doorbell remains as an aesthetic feature, its previous purpose supplanted by the perhaps more security-serving entryphone. A deep walk-in wardrobe provides a vast amount of immediately accessible storage, with two levels of shelving and plentiful hanging space; a light will help with rummaging in the far away recesses.

Lounge 4.85m x 3.68m (15ft 10in x 12ft)
Situated to the front of the property, with a large window, this is a very pleasant formal sitting area. The working fire, with its cast iron hearth and surround and wooden mantle, forms the centrepiece of the room, but the eye will also be taken by the large decorative ceiling rose and cornicework. A traditional tenement flat wouldn’t be the same without a boxroom and you won’t be disappointed here, with advantage having been taken of the available space to create a very handy home office area, in turn allowing the other rooms to be kept as they are.

Dining Kitchen 5.82m x 3.45m (19ft 1in x 11ft 3in)
The southerly aspect means that this everyday room is particularly bright and sunny and it is certainly somewhere that you will want to spend a lot of every day. The resident chef shouldn’t need too much persuasion to try their hand at the latest culinary creation. The units incorporate two pan drawers and otherwise provide very good storage. Slate is deployed to stylish and practical effect in the work surfaces and its source adds to the je ne sais quoi: reclaimed pool tables! Meals can be enjoyed in the spacious dining area that easily accommodates even a substantial table. A Bosch three quarter dishwasher will help with the post-prandial clean up, as will task lighting over the sink. The flooring is natural linoleum and illumination comes by way of ceiling-mounted spots set in an oval and twin rise and fall lights, with LED lighting under the wall cabinets. There is another large walk-in airing cupboard housing the boiler.

Bedroom 1 3.76m x 3.45m (12ft 4in x 11ft 3in)
This is a substantial main sleeping apartment The window receives morning and evening sunlight and there is also a transom light over the door from the hall. There is an attractive decorative cornice.

Bedroom 2 3.30m x 2.72m (10ft 9in x 8ft 11in)
This pleasant second double is quietly situated to the rear of the flat and enjoys a view down into the garden. As with the kitchen, the south-facing situation makes it naturally bright during the day and it also enjoys an attractive view of trees and London Road Church.

Bathroom
The simple contrast of slate grey and white works perfectly here, making the functional very fashionable. The suite comprises a bespoke, shaped Carron bath with a rainfall shower over, a wall-mounted wash hand basin with mixer tap and a floating WC with a push button flush for the concealed cistern. A myriad of ceiling-mounted spotlights might allow the more imaginative to believe that their relaxing soak in the bath after a long hard day was taking place under the stars. Storage comes in the form of a split level corner cupboard and there is also a heated rail for the towels. And there’s also a treat for the feet: the electric underfloor heating set beneath the slate tiling.

Shared Garden
There is a well-kept shared garden and drying green behind the tenement. A pleasant lawn has borders with mature dwarf conifers and trees.
