1 bedroom flat

This ground floor flat has been lovingly looked after by its current owners to create a warm, welcoming property. Its generous, period proportions immediately set the tone, and combined with its private and quiet, yet prime West End location, this makes for a very special flat.

The large, communal entrance hall creates an immediate impression. A door to the left leads into the flat itself. Off the hallway is the palatial drawing room; an impressive room with an array of period features including wood panelling, working shutters, high ceiling with detailed intricate cornicing, original floors and a working fireplace. The large bay window has commanding views of the architecturally beautiful St Mary's Cathedral Music School. The room is perfect for entertaining on a grand or modest scale. Adjacent and off the hallway is the box room – the ideal work from home space or guest bedroom.

Occupying a southerly orientation is the master bedroom. With attractive views of gardens below, this generously proportioned room features a traditional press cupboard and a further large walk-in cupboard. Original parquet floors can be found underfoot, whilst the large windows flood the room with natural light. The newly refurbished modern bathroom is also set to the rear of the flat.

Completing the accommodation is the kitchen with its modern fittings and lovely outlook. Useful attic storage can be found above the hallway.

The benefit of the delightful private gardens at Grosvenor/Lansdowne Crescents can be enjoyed upon payment of a modest annual fee. Grosvenor Gardens benefits from residents' permit parking.

Within easy walking distance of the central shopping areas of Princes Street and George Street and the village atmosphere of the West End itself with many independent shops, coffee spots, bars and restaurants.
