Description
Built circa 1890, 2 Somerville Gardens is a fine example of period charm meeting contemporary style. The property has undergone an impressive refurbishment in recent months, to provide three spacious and luxurious apartments. The impressive room proportions are typical of the period and this apartment is no exception, with a spacious reception hall, high ceilings, large sash windows and accommodation approaching 1,500 sq ft. Many of the original features are still intact, including decorative cornicing and coving, deep skirting boards, and decorative feature fireplaces.
The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room lies to the rear of the apartment benefiting from an abundance of light and the impressive kitchen is centred around a large island with striking quartz worktop provides plenty of preparation space. Bespoke base and wall cabinetry provide good storage and a range of integrated appliances, including Belfast style sink, Bosch microwave oven, electric oven, and free-standing range oven with plenty of room for informal dining at the breakfast bar.
The West facing sitting / dining room features a striking fireplace, creating an attractive focal point and excellent entertaining space. There are two generously sized bedrooms and two well presented bathrooms. The third bedroom provides flexible space and could of course be used as a study for today's working from home needs.
Flat 2 and Flat 3 are accessed via a shared communal entrance to the side of the building.
Parking – There are two allocated parking spaces per apartment, further visitor parking on a first-come, first-serve basis.
