Why you’ll like it:

With plenty of kerb appeal, the homes of Grantham Road are quintessentially Victorian with decorative gables and architectural plasterwork on their facades. This property is an easy walk to the stations and the shops on Beaconsfield Parade.

Stepping inside it is clear this apartment has been tastefully renovated, with charcoal walls and soft grey carpet underfoot, running along the corridor to the living room at the front of the house.

Soothing dove-grey tones continue in the lounge, so it is wonderfully light. There is ample space to relax in the evening watching TV.

Next door, bedroom two is a sweet single room with a tall double-glazed window to fill it with light. It would be ideal as a guest room and home office, with useful storage shelves behind the door.

Moving through the flat, the main bedroom is next on the left. It is a fine size double with a peaceful outlook over the neighbouring gardens. Even with double bed and freestanding wardrobes, the floor space is not compromised, and double glazing ensures a warm and restful night’s sleep. Next door, the bathroom is simply designed with a rainfall shower over the bath and a tall chrome heated rail is in place for towels.

At the end of the corridor, the kitchen is well-proportioned with a wide box bay window almost covering the southerly elevation. This creates the perfect space for a dining table and chairs so you can look out to greenery and open skies as you eat.

This attractive apartment sits in a popular location which is well served for shops, parks and schools. There are plenty of local green spaces, and great transport links, but you are also only a short walk from everything this vibrant coastal city has to offer. The A23 and stations are also within easy reach for those requiring fast links to Gatwick or London on a daily or weekly basis.
