The Indoors

Entry is at lower ground level, where the bedrooms and bathroom are arranged. The main bedroom sits at the front, defined by a wide bay window that draws in soft, even light, with built in storage neatly integrated. To the rear, the second bedroom opens directly onto the garden through glazed doors and is currently set up as a study, with Marmoleum flooring underfoot and plenty of light. The third bedroom, the most compact of the three, also has access to the garden, making it a flexible space for a child’s room, guest room or workspace. A family bathroom sits centrally on this level, well placed for all rooms and simply finished.

Upstairs, the apartment opens into the main living spaces. The reception room is located at the front, notably high ceiling, bay window and original cornicing intact. A period fireplace anchors the room, with bespoke shelving and cupboards set neatly to either side. The use of colour is bold but measured, giving the space warmth without overpowering it. To the rear, the kitchen and dining area form a more informal, social space. The kitchen is practical and well laid out, with Bosch appliances, generous storage and a wide window overlooking the gardens beyond. Light travels well here, helped by a full-height glazed door, bringing a strong connection to the outside.

The Outdoors

The garden is a real highlight. Green and unexpectedly peaceful for its setting. A paved terrace sits directly outside the house, ideal for dining, before giving way to a long stretch of lawn. There’s a raised vegetable bed, established planting and a more secluded section toward the rear with a timber shed and additional storage. It’s a space that feels properly removed, with enough depth to create distinct areas whether for entertaining, gardening or simply stepping out of the house into something quieter.
