2 bedroom apartment for sale

This impressive two bedroom apartment is set on the ground floor of a Grade II listed period property noted for its Sandstone exterior, Gothic style architecture and castellations. The building was formerly Romanoff House School which prepared boys for public schools and the military and naval colleges. In 1857 it changed its name to Rosehill School where Lord Robert Bayden-Powell entered the school in 1868 and now bears an historical claret plaque. Set back from the road by an expanse of grass with the green Common opposite, this elegant apartment has undergone considerable restyling and improvement and includes a spacious entrance hall with wood effect flooring, comfortable sitting room with fitted gas fire. The kitchen/dining room has a contemporary style kitchen with high gloss white wall and base units with grey quartz worktops together with an extensive range of fitted appliances. From the kitchen area there is direct access to a sheltered communal courtyard area with further steps leading to the gardens. The master bedroom has an additional room which could be used, as an en suite dressing room or as currently used a useful office/study allowing working from home. There is a good sized second bedroom and large bathroom with white suite.
