There remains some scope for further modernisation and garden landscaping which would certainly add value in an area such as this.

Why you'll like it

Roundhill Conservation Area has an air of 'cool' and a unique energy much like its hilly neighbour Hanover. It has a diverse and welcoming community with a mix of families and professionals of all ages and being just ten-minutes from the North Laine Shopping District keeps it well connected to the creative heart of this cosmopolitan coastal city.

This attractive apartment is formed from the raised ground floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse, so it shares the communal entrance with just one other property. It has sole use of the sunny rear garden and being elevated from the street ensures it feels private from within. Steps lead up to the main door and once inside, this flat feels naturally light and airy.

Stepping into the living room, sanded wooden floors and walls in sage-grey greet you, and a wide bay window looks out over the peaceful street to the east. There is ample space for comfortable chairs and a small dining table if need be – which is ideal as the kitchen is open to the room. This has modern fitted units in white at both base and wall levels providing a wealth of storage, and while the electric hob and oven have been integrated, space has been left for a washing machine and under counter fridge.

The bedroom and bathroom are on the upper level with the bedroom looking out to the garden. This is a fine double room with space for freestanding wardrobes and furnishings, and the bathroom is conveniently close, so it feels like an en suite. This is fresh in white with wood flooring and a shower over the bath and a heated rail for towels.

Double glazed French doors lead out to the garden from the upper landing, where a few stone steps lead up to a generous area of lawn with mature trees on its rear border and the original walls running along either side. There is so much you could do in a space like this, as it is elevated to receive sunshine throughout the day. The potential for landscaping is huge to create a dining area or vegetable beds, and it doesn't feel overlooked.

Agent's thoughts:

Brilliantly located for the city, the stations and the universities, this property will appeal to many, and having a garden of this size is a real bonus so close to the city centre.
