Set in the leafy environs of Surrenden, close to Preston Park and its commuter station; this two-bedroom first floor garden maisonette is ideally positioned for professionals. It is formed form the first floor of a terraced house, yet it has its own entrance and sole access to a sweet balcony and a sunny rear garden. With a southerly orientation to the front, its rooms are naturally light, and it has been beautifully renovated by the current owner during the last few years, giving it an immaculate and stylish finish throughout.

While this is a quiet residential area, you are still incredibly well-connected to the city, and there are several local shops, pubs and amenities too. Well-presented and modern throughout, you can move straight in with ease, and the local schools are exemplary, meaning this property will be hugely desirable to smaller families, professionals, commuters and investors alike.

Why you’ll like it:
Excellent commuter links and easy access to Preston Park, several shops and great foodie pubs has attracted professionals to live in Surrenden for many years now. It is incredibly peaceful and green, yet the city is easily accessible, so you get the best pf both worlds living here. While many homes here remain one dwelling, some have been sensitively converted into apartments like this one which has a sunny rear garden and its own street entrance.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear this property has been renovated by those with a refined eye for colour and current interior trends. It balances home comforts and style while also retaining its original period character, and its rooms are filled with natural light.

To the front of the property, sun streams into the living room via a wide bay window with double glazing too ensure it is warm and quiet throughout the year. There is space for comfortable seating in here, alongside entertainment systems which fit perfectly in the alcoves, and the decoration is fresh in white and calico, forming a perfect blank canvas for any new owners.

Next door, the single bedroom shares the same sunny aspect as the living room. While it would work well as a child’s room or a single bedroom, it is also ideal as a home office for those WFH on a daily or weekly basis.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building, looking out to the garden, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with a feature wall in burnt-orange adding a warm pop of colour. There is space for two wardrobes in the alcoves alongside a king size bed, and once again, the window is double glazed for warmth and quiet.

Nearby, the bathroom is on-trend with brick wall tiles and matt-black accessories creating a stylish, monochrome scheme which includes an electric shower over the bath. The WC is usefully separate.

With direct access to the garden, the kitchen sits at the far end of the flat, so you can easily spill outside for dining alfresco. Teal cabinetry is paired with brushed gold door furniture and white worktops which leave space for freestanding appliances which may be available with the sale by separate negotiation. Space has been left for a dining table and the balcony is a lovely extension of the space where you can sit out during summer as the sun goes down in the west. While the garden is technically north facing, it is open to the west to receive the afternoon sunshine, so plants thrive in the flower bed and the lawn is lush and green.

Agent’s thoughts:
Immaculate and light-filled, this is a beautiful garden flat with many winning qualities and a fantastic location for professionals.

Owners’ thoughts
