Description
From an entrance on the first floor, 'The Clocktower' sits over two floors of this historic building, high above the hustle and bustle of King's Road in a private and secluded escape from the outside world.
The Clocktower is a cosy, comfortable retreat where your tenants can wind down and relax, surrounded by beautiful architecture and pleasant gardens, with shops, restaurants, and bars on the doorstep when they feel like going out.
The layout is quirky, as you might expect from a Gothic-style church conversion, but that's part of the charm of the place.
An entrance hall and cloaks store leads you down a hallway to a lovely double bedroom, arched stone windows to two sides, and window seats from which to watch the world go by. The shower room next door is elegant and modern, having been upgraded by the current owner. There's additional storage in the hallway outside before you climb up through a magnificent stone archway to the living area above.
The upper floor, although compact, has everything needed for a comfortable modern lifestyle, combined with more wonderful character features to enjoy. The living and dining space has stone arch windows to two sides, bathing the room in natural light and giving elevated views over the surroundings, a lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee or to work from in the home office space created by the current owner. The kitchen is modern, with lots of workspace and storage, and integrated appliances that are included in the sale.
Outside the building are communal gardens of lawn and trees, and two private parking areas for residents and their guests.
'The Clocktower' has proved successful as a long-term rental investment. It has been rented to a single professional tenant for the past 6 months, with a new agreement signed until July 2025. Call or email today for more information and to arrange your appointment to view this special home.
