Generous, sun-filled rooms, a stylish interior and plenty of original period features are just some of the qualities which make this property stand out. Almost every inch of this home has been renovated, restored and reconfigured to create a home which provides both form and function. It has evolved from a city pad for professionals to a family space, and in both circumstances, it has offered comfortable and versatile living and working spaces, ideal for both entertaining and relaxation.

Attractive on approach, a wide path leads up to a pillar-box red front door below a Corinthian pilastered portico entrance. This flat is easy to access on the ground floor with a front door opening to a welcoming entrance hall with chequerboard flooring and high ceilings. The immaculate finish is immediately apparent, and your eye is drawn to the living room which spans the front of the house with a generous bay window facing south to fill the space with natural light. Dressed in white shutters, this light filters in and the world can be shut out completely for privacy in the evening. Intricate plasterwork wends its way around a high ceiling which lowers slightly over the open plan kitchen; lit with spotlights. White timber cabinetry provides a wealth of storage and the fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine are integrated, while the Smeg range cooker (available by separate negotiation) and butler sink are seamlessly cut in. White composite-stone worktops also form a central island which has seating for informal drinks and dining, while elsewhere in the room you can relax on generous sofas.

Moving through the apartment, you pass the chic, tiled shower room with walk-in rainfall shower, to find two bedrooms peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, looking out over the green of neighbouring gardens.

Both bedrooms have quality carpet underfoot and shuttered windows to echo those in the living room. While the principal room is a generous double with a wall of built-in wardrobes, the second bedroom is a fine size for a single bed, sofa bed for guests, or as a spacious home office for two should couples need to work from home.
