Measuring over 750 square feet, this apartment is ready to move into straight away yet with the potential to add your own decorative touches over time. Precedent has been set should the purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return in the future, expanding the already sizeable reception to create one vast open-plan room, adding further value.
The heart of the home is the reception room, with a charming bay window, the room is bathed in afternoon sunlight with a feature fireplace creating a second focal point. This generous room has the proportions for a comfortable lounge area in addition to a dining table, ideal for hosting Sunday lunches. The kitchen sits adjacent, with double doors to separate the rooms when the toast is burnt or a cosier vibe is desired. Wrap-around cabinetry provides plentiful storage and countertop space with the sink positioned below the window for garden views, an ergonomic space in which to cook.
Packed full of potential for those with green fingers to landscape, the low-maintenance private garden wraps around, currently laid to paving with a raised bed to the rear, the garden is ideal for whiling the summer months hosting BBQs or tending to a vegetable patch.
The bedrooms are both spacious doubles, set apart from one another for a level of privacy suited to sharers. Each bedroom is neutrally presented with ample storage space, one boasts a large bay window flooding the room with light, whilst the other features French doors to the side return of the garden. The bathroom is furnished with a bathtub with overhead shower, ideal for a soak in the tub after a leisurely amble around Brockwell Park, located just a five-minute stroll away. The property benefits from a cellar for storing away those lesser used items, with the potential to convert into a utility room if desired, subject to permissions.
