Interior
A welcoming communal entrance sets an elegant tone from the moment you arrive, opening into a shared lobby complete with useful communal storage, laundry facilities and a seating area. From here, the apartment itself unfolds through a spacious hallway, allowing each room to feel well connected throughout the home. The lounge is a beautifully composed room, tastefully designed with built-in storage shelving that adds both character and practicality. A charming south facing bay window frames sea views, creating a natural focal point and allowing the room to feel bright and wonderfully inviting. The kitchen has been thoughtfully appointed with an excellent range of base and wall units, offering generous storage alongside refined quartz work surfaces. A butler sink, integrated appliances and gas hob bring together style and everyday function, while the door leading directly to the private rear garden creates a seamless connection between indoor living and outdoor enjoyment. The first bedroom is a generous double room with a further bay window enhancing the sense of space and period charm. Deep built-in wardrobes provide superb storage, designed to maximise usability without compromising the room’s proportions. From here, Jack and Jill access leads into a beautifully finished four-piece bathroom, also accessible from the hallway.

Exterior
The home enjoys the rare and highly desirable benefit of its own private fenced rear garden, beautifully landscaped with smooth porcelain tiling to create an elegant, low-maintenance outdoor setting. Whether used for summer dining, morning coffee or evening relaxation, the garden feels like a natural extension of the home, enhanced further by an outbuilding offering versatile additional space. An allocated parking space to the rear of the property, accessed via Woodfield Road, adds everyday convenience. The property can be accessed via the communal front entrance or from the parking area, through secure key-coded doors and the private garden into the kitchen, creating a particularly useful and discreet secondary entrance. To the front, the building makes a striking first impression, with artificial grass and London Stock Victorian walkway lending an attractive approach. Additional storage sheds are positioned down the side of the building, including one private waterproof shed and one communal shed, offering valuable extra space for tools and other equipment.
