Ideal for health professionals, first time buyers and investors this stylish one bedroom apartment is tucked away on a quiet period terrace just a 2 minute walk from the County Hospital with the fashionable Kemptown Village and bus routes to the city and station on the doorstep. Inside, a streamlined interior delivers a sociable lifestyle with a sophisticated open plan living room which opens to a pretty patio, and although on the lower ground floor of an attractive Victorian house, with big rooms, high ceilings and broad windows, it has plenty of natural light. A 3 minute stroll to the seafront and close to the cosmopolitan waterfront restaurants of the Marina with permit parking and no waiting list, this is a sought after area as the whole of the city and surrounding countryside is easy to reach.

In a popular conservation area close to the sea, this apartment has its own entrance leading down from the street so it is private and quiet, and spanning the whole lower floor of a substantial Victorian building there is all the space you could dream of.

Inside, the hallway is inviting with a high ceiling and natural slate floor which continues through an arch into the glamorous living room which is at the back to flow out to the patio. Streamlined and stylish, the kitchen lines one wall so it is sociable whilst a choice of lighting levels allows it to be discreet, too. With ample storage and practical working surface, this kitchen is well planned and ready for use with an integrated touch induction hob, hood, electric oven and fridge, and plumbing for a machine. A change of flooring from slate to the warm tones of engineered oak help to create defined areas for seating and eating with ample floorspace to enjoy, designer wallpaper and a fireplace housing a classic electric fire. A room for all seasons, French doors open to the fabulous patio for the summertime al fresco lifestyle our city is famous for, with brick underfoot for a dining set and lighting for parties.

Tucked away, an inner lobby has extra work surface and undercounter space on one side and a large cupboard opposite to help keep the apartment uncluttered, and at the end, the contemporary bathroom has natural light, a mirrored cabinet and a heated rail at one end of the bath with a shower at the other.

Designed to embrace the morning sunlight, the double bedroom has a broad window which almost fills the east wall and reaches the ceiling, which is high. A serene and spacious refuge to retreat to after work, chic wallpaper and thick silver carpet make you feel a little bit special, whilst dimmer switches and burnished chrome fittings bring a relaxing, high end finish.

Owner's Secret:

"Ideal for a healthy lifestyle, the sea, coastal cycle path and sports facilities of two parks are close by.
