Well-presented with a modern finish throughout its generous rooms, this two-bedroom apartment also benefits from its own street entrance and sole access to a lovely courtyard garden. It sits within the lower ground floor of a substantial Victorian townhouse in a popular area close to both Preston Park and Preston Circus, so the city is within easy walking distance, as are two stations and several popular schools. It does not feel lower ground in the slightest as it has windows on three sides, and it is open to the rear with French doors leading out to the garden. In addition, a separate home office has been created for those requiring a warm and peaceful space for working from home. Being so favourably located, modern and spacious, this flat is sure to attract many.

Why you’ll like it
Attractive on the approach, this Victorian townhouse sits well back from the road and has an immaculate façade in buttermilk-cream, adorned with the architectural features of the period. To one side, a driveway leads through to the parking area at the rear (where the current owner rents a parking space), but the entrance to this apartment is to the side of the building.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this is a very well-maintained apartment. Pale oak flooring flows seamlessly throughout the space paired with white or lemon-cream walls offering a blank canvas for the new occupants.

First to the left is the kitchen which has been well-designed to include ample storage and space for freestanding appliances which can be available by separate negotiation. These include a tall fridge freezer, a washing machine, a slim-line dishwasher and an electric induction cooker.

Next door, the living room is particularly spacious with room for formal dining alongside relaxed seating in front of the open fire. This has not been used in some time, so it would require professional investigation prior to using. A large hatch opens to the kitchen which brings in additional light and allows the chef to remain sociable when cooking the evening meal. The rear wall is almost entirely glazed framing views of the private, enclosed shingle patio which becomes a welcome extension of the space during the warmer seasons. The patio has space for dining alfresco and is bordered by fencing on one side and the original Victorian wall on the other. Beyond the patio is a large communal garden ringed by mature trees and allocated parking.

This flat originally had a parking port which was too small for modern cars, so the current owner had the forethought to convert it into a more functional space. It is now a spacious home office with its own entrance from the garden, although it is fully attached to the main building allowing it to share the electricity and central heating, so it is ideal for use all year round. It has a sink with running water, and it is wonderfully quiet for somewhere so central due to its position and energy efficient double glazing.

Both bedrooms sit to the front of the apartment with the master enjoying a wide bay window facing south to fill it with natural light. Being set back from the road, it is perfectly private. Even with a king-size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture, the floor space is not compromised in the slightest. A built in wardrobe maximises this further. Bedroom two is versatile as a single or a double room – or as a second home office if required. Both bedrooms have easy access to the newly appointed shower room with its generous walk-in rainfall shower and stylish brick wall tiles. The fixtures and fittings are modern and there is a vast amount of storage for toiletries and towels alongside a heated towel rail.

Agent’s thoughts:
Brilliantly located for professionals, this apartment is ready to move straight into, and its garden office is a huge bonus in the current climate when so many people are working from home. It is very well-presented and has been expertly maintained, so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owner’s secret
“This was a wonderful home for us before we moved abroad. We love the area for its convenience as there is so much to enjoy within easy walking distance – from the park to the shops and restaurants of Preston Circus, and the flat is a lovely space to come home to. The garden office was such a great addition to the space as I often worked from home and found it incredibly peaceful. I also worked some of the time in London and the 10 minute walk to the station with fast links to the City and to Gatwick airport made commuting easy. We have decided to move out of the country permanently now, so we no longer need a base here, but it will be a wrench to let it go.”
