Preston Mansions is an exclusive apartment complex looking out over the green environs of Preston Park. Built in 2006, it remains the most prestigious in the area with a contemporary and luxurious finish. This two-bedroom property resides on the third floor, and it is wonderfully light with a westerly orientation; looking out over the park gardens from its wrap around terrace and balcony. It also has glorious room proportions with an open plan kitchen for entertaining, and only the finest materials and fittings have been used in its creation. The building is beautifully maintained, expertly managed with 24hr CCTV and a secure underground parking space too, so it could be the perfect 'lock-up-and leave' holiday home. The local schools and transport links are excellent, with two commuter stations within walking distance, so this will also appeal to families and commuters.

Why you'll like it:
This prestigious development of contemporary apartments is unrivalled in the Preston Park area for exclusivity and style, and it certainly stands out with its curved façade adorned with glass balconies; akin to a modern sea liner. You enter through iron gates, decorated with sweet bird motifs, via a video entry system, and into the communal hallway, which feels much like a five-star hotel with gleaming floors, designer artwork and gentle lighting. You take the lift to the third floor where the apartments are clearly numbered, with this one down the corridor to the right.
Once inside, you are welcomed into a wide hallway with stone floor tiles and fresh white walls, and it is immediately clear that this is a spacious and stylish apartment. There are two deep storage cupboards; one with double doors to house the washing machine and all your household items, and another for the Megaflo heating system. You are immediately warmed by the underfloor heating which runs throughout the apartment and is zoned, but being a modern and well insulated building, it is rarely needed.
The main event in this apartment is the magnificent open plan living room and kitchen which is a delightful space for sophisticated entertaining. There are defined areas for comfortable seating, formal dining and working, and whilst the kitchen is open to the room, it is recessed making it feel separate whilst retaining the social aspect of open plan living. The westerly and northern walls are entirely glazed with floor to ceiling windows, and each side has a door leading out to the terrace. Not only does this fill the room with natural light, but from this elevated position, they frame the leafy land and skyscape perfectly. Outside there is ample space for alfresco dining and with this favourable orientation, you can enjoy the last of the summer sunshine as the sun sets behind the trees.
The kitchen area has high quality, light wood units topped with granite, and into these, the fridge, freezer, microwave, oven and induction hob are all seamlessly integrated, leaving space for a freestanding dishwasher, and the granite rises-up the wall as a splashback to complete the high-end look.
Returning to the hall, the master bedroom is to the right, and is a wonderful size with space for a king size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture without compromising on floor space at all. From here you can access the balcony which is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee during the warmer seasons as it is open to the south looking out over the roof and treetops of the city. The en suite bathroom is another luxurious room with a shower over the bath, contemporary mocha tiles on the walls and the floor, and a tall heated rail for your towels.
Bedroom two is across the hall on the left and is a very comfortable double with a peaceful outlook over the terrace. Like the master bedroom, this room has cream carpet and is subtly lit by spotlights for added relaxation and calm, and with quality double glazing throughout, you can always ensure a peaceful night's sleep. While it is not en suite, there is a second bathroom nearby in a similarly modern style.
Bear in Mind:
Water rates, the gardener and a cleaner are included in the maintenance fee.
Owner's secret:
'There is an air of luxury to these apartments, but they also feel wonderfully secure too. Many are second homes as they are perfect to lock-up-and-leave, but as a main residence – as it has been for us, it has been a great place to live, particularly in the summer when you can spill out onto the terrace and watch the world go by. The location cannot be beaten as it is so peaceful with the park on your doorstep, yet the city, the beach and the station are just a stroll away.'
