Why you'll like it

Roundhill's popularity has increased exponentially in recent years, drawing families and professionals alike to come and live amongst its friendly community. It certainly lives up to its name with a hilly topography, characterised by Victorian terraces, but the city centre shops are within easy walking distance. Being elevated on the hill, the homes on the easterly side are filled with natural light which this apartment enjoys all day from its sunny, south easterly garden.

You enter down a few stone steps to where this property has its own street entrance adding to its sense of privacy. You enter into a long corridor to where the bedroom is first on the right, and while it is street facing, it is perfectly private, and due to its peaceful location and energy efficient double glazing, you can always ensure a restful night's sleep. The décor is fresh in various pale shades of cream.

Sitting centrally to the flat, the living and dining room is homely with ample space for comfortable sofas and a formal dining table and chairs. A period fireplace adds character to the space, and light streams in from the kitchen which is open to the room via a wide arch. This has modern Shaker units in buttermilk cream which have been paired with dark wood effect worktops, into which the fan oven, gas hob, and fridge freezer have been integrated.

Light fills the space through a generous skylight, but also from the glazed rear door, leading out to the garden which becomes an extension of the home as the weather warms. It stretches back over 50 feet and is barely overlooked due to its elevated position on the hill. Facing east, but open to the south, it is bathed in light for most of the day and has decking for dining alfresco. There is a spacious lawn surrounded by flower beds too, so it welcomes wildlife, and is a tranquil oasis so close to the city.

Also accessible from the living room, the bathroom is another spacious and well-lit room, which has been nicely tiled in neutral stone tones with a brick mosaic border. There is a shower over the modern bath suite, and a tall heated towel rail completes the polished look.
Agent's thoughts:
This is the perfect apartment for investors or first-time buyers who wish to move straight in without having to change a thing. It also comes with a share of the freehold, and the garden is a real treat for a one-bed apartment.

Owner's secret

"It is so quiet here, yet the city and all its delights are easily accessible on foot. There are plenty of great gastro pubs locally too, all vying for the best Sunday roast, and there is a lovely sense of community to Roundhill, which I will certainly miss."
