Why you’ll like it:

Seven Dials has managed to retain an air of ‘cool’ for many years with establishments and families who have lived here for decades alongside new and exciting shops and bars which pop up all the time for variety. The beach is only ten minutes away, as are popular parks, schools and the city centre, so it feels truly cosmopolitan and is the reason so many people flock to live here.
This flat is formed within the uppermost floors of a tall Victorian townhouse with classic architectural detailing and wide steps leading you to the original front door. Stairs lead up to the second floor where your door is numbered and opens to a small half-landing where bedroom two sits peacefully to the rear of the building.
From the moment you enter, it is immediately clear this is a beautifully maintained home with an immaculate finish. This continues on every level, using a sophisticated palette of dove-grey and white which will suit many styles of modern furnishing. The original woodwork features are picked out in white and the views to the rear are far-reaching. Bedroom two is a lovely room with built-in storage and ample space for a double bed, although it is also ideal as a tranquil home office for those looking to work from home.
Stepping up to the second half-landing, the kitchen also looks out to the rear and is a lovely size for an apartment as it has space for a kitchen table if desired. Smart sage cabinetry in a Shaker-style provides a wealth of storage while the oven and hob are integrated, leaving space for a freestanding fridge freezer and a washing machine which may be available by separate negotiation.

Next door, the bathroom is classic in white and mosaic with a shower over the bath and a wall mounted, mirrored cabinet.

Spanning the front of the building, the living and dining room is stunning with a pale aesthetic and a southerly aspect which brightens the space further. There is ample room for formal dining and relaxed seating on sumptuous furnishings, and a beautiful period fireplace takes centre stage, adding a huge amount of character.

A further flight of stairs rises up double height to the top floor where the principal bedroom offers a real sanctuary to come home to each day. Even with a king size bed and freestanding wardrobes, the floor space is not compromised, and the ceilings remain high so the room feels light and airy.

Agent’s thoughts:

This is a very attractive flat sitting in one of the most sought-after locations in the city. It is ready to move straight into making it the ideal investment for landlords or professionals.

Owner’s thoughts:

“There is a fantastic energy to Seven Dials which is hard to find elsewhere in the city. It is incredibly convenient with every amenity you could wish for on your doorstep and you rarely need to venture any further into the city for a night out.
This flat is also really peaceful for somewhere so central making it a lovely place to come home to each day!”
