2 bedroom barn conversion

IN BRIEF

This two-bedroom apartment on the first floor of an attractive Edwardian villa in Bowes Park has been refurbished to a high standard, with contemporary fixtures and fittings alongside period features. It’s conveniently situated within easy reach of a wide range of shops and two stations.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set back from the road behind a low wall and paved front garden, the attractive and ornate front door of the house opens into a smart communal hallway and stairs. The apartment has its own front door on the first floor which leads into an elegant hallway that sets the tone for the apartment, with generous period proportions, ceiling coving, school-style radiators and lovely engineered wood herring bone flooring.

The main living space is a large, open plan living room and kitchen with great natural light from a square bay window at one end and a sash window above the sink. Measuring 21’6” by 13’6”, this loft-like room has ample space for a kitchen, dining zone, and lounge area. The new Shaker-style kitchen and downlighters perfectly complement the period features, making this a great room for relaxing or entertaining.

The main bedroom is another generously sized room, with two sash windows and wide bespoke fitted wardrobes. Both this and the second bedroom (also a double) are carpeted for comfort. The bathroom, again modern, has a luxurious feel, with tiled walls and floor, a contemporary bath, washbasin and WC, and brushed brass fittings. The utility room opposite – an unusual bonus in an apartment – is fitted with new Bosch appliances (a washing machine and dryer) beneath a wide worktop and obscured glass window.

The apartment is in in excellent condition throughout, with charming period features (ceiling roses and cornicing, original sash windows, cast iron radiators) that are showcased by the simple, classic décor of pale ivory and subtle grey that imbues the whole space with a calm and classic ambience.

The property has a long 999 year lease, ad hoc service charges, peppercorn ground rent and is offered chain free.
