Introducing this simply beautiful top floor period apartment, located in the heart of Preston's city centre. This home has an abundance of character and charm, with high ceilings and original features throughout including large windows which flood the apartment with natural light.

The apartment has two spacious bedrooms, both with ample storage and natural light. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while there is also a second bathroom for guests or other residents.

The open-plan living, and dining area is the perfect space for entertaining, with views over the beautiful Winckley Square. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and ample storage, making it a breeze to cook and entertain guests.

The internal finish of the apartment is certainly one of the best examples we have seen with views of the square in recent years.

I feel the location of this property is truly unbeatable, with direct links to London and Manchester via the nearby train station. The apartment is also within walking distance of a wide range of bars, restaurants and green open spaces such as the historic Avenham and Miller Parks, making it the perfect place for those who love to explore the city.
