2 bedroom flat for sale

Guide £190,000 - £210,000

When you arrive, the building itself makes an impression – there's something about that symmetrical frontage and those classical proportions that just works. The corridors have real character too, with dark wood beams and these art deco tiles in a deep olive green that you don't see every day.

Step inside the apartment and you've got a proper entrance hall that opens up to two genuinely spacious double bedrooms. Both get loads of light, and they've kept all the interesting architectural details while adding modern mezzanines that flood the rooms with even more natural sunlight.

There are two bathrooms, both done really well with neutral tiles from floor to ceiling. The main bedroom has its own en-suite, which is always a bonus.

Head upstairs and this is where it gets interesting. The top floor is all open-plan living and kitchen, with full-height windows that let in masses of light throughout the day. Combined with those high ceilings, it creates a really striking space that's got that rare thing where the modern bits and the period features actually complement each other rather than fighting for attention.

The kitchen's fitted with classic Shaker units and comes with everything sorted – integrated dishwasher, brand new fridge freezer, washer dryer, all built in so nothing looks like an afterthought.

Look, this is a top-floor apartment in a building with proper history, but it's been brought right up to date. It works whether you're buying your first place or looking to downsize. You don't come across places like this very often.
