Why you’ll like it:
Positioned just minutes from the bustling Preston Circus and the North Laine Shopping District, there is a great energy to this area of the city which has seen a huge amount of regeneration in recent years. This property sits within a house on the southerly side of Viaduct Road, bearing classic early-Victorian features making it hugely attractive on approach. A few steps lead down to the private entrance to the flat which opens to a short corridor with space to hang coats and organise shoes.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a contemporary home with an immaculate finish throughout. Not only is the space aesthetically pleasing, but below the surface, the entire flat has been damp-proofed with a further 15-years on the guarantee which is a huge bonus and reassurance when buying an older lower ground property.

To the left, the bedroom is a generous double with a smart, neutral palette of calico creams which will suits all styles of modern furnishing. Even with a double bed and freestanding clothes storage, the floor space is not compromised.
Sitting centrally, the living room is peaceful and homely with views through French doors to the patio garden. There is ample space for sofas and a dining table or a desk for working from home, with the kitchen partially open to the room. This is a well-appointed space with streamlined handle-free cabinetry and integrated appliances, so you can move straight in with relative ease. The bathroom leads from here and is another gleaming space with contemporary tiling and cabinetry, alongside a double width shower and an LED wall mounted mirror.

Agent’s thoughts:
Immediately impressive, this flat has clearly been beautifully maintained by the current owner to create a city centre sanctuary.

Owner’s thoughts:
“This has been a fantastic first home for me and a real labour of love to renovate, but it has been a joy to breathe new life into a period property.
Preston Circus has been transformed over the last few years and there are now so many lovely bars, cafes and restaurants, not to mention the Duke of York Cinema at the bottom of our road. The proximity to two stations is also a great pull for the area – I’ll be sad to let this property go.”
