Why you’ll like it:

Clarence Square began construction in 1820 on the north side, but the gracious townhouses to the south side were not complete until 1840, giving them classic Victorian facades with canted bay windows and neat architectural details. This apartment benefits from its own street entrance to the side of the building which holds a corner plot, adding to the feeling of privacy.

Stepping inside, the flat feels surprisingly light as it is only partially lower ground due to its position on the hill. White walls, oatmeal carpets and some wooden flooring provide a blank canvas for new owners, and the potential to add value is immediately clear.

Within the entrance hall there is a wealth of storage for household items, shoes and coats to ensure the flat remains clutter free. First to the left, the bedroom is peaceful and offers plenty of space for a king size bed and furnishings, plus a built-in wardrobe maximises the floor space. Conveniently nearby, the bathroom is simply designed in white with a shower over the bath. It is also a good size should you wish to redesign the space to suit your style.

Spanning the end of the flat, the living room is naturally light with a large sash window and ample space for both comfortable sofas and a dining table and chairs. The kitchen nearby comes equipped with plenty of storage and has space and plumbing for a cooker, washing machine and a fridge. As with the bathroom, this space could benefit from modernisation to add value, yet it is in fine fettle should you need to move straight in.

Agent’s thoughts:

Clarence Square is surprisingly peaceful for somewhere so close to the city centre. This flat will appeal for its location, but also the ability to add value which will appeal to first time buyers and investors.
