Accommodation
The entrance to the building is directly off of Portland Street, and the communal area presents access to the apartment, along with three others in this development of four converted apartments.
The front door to the property itself opens into an entrance hall with a cloakroom to the right hand side comprising a WC and wash hand basin, along with stairs rising to the first floor on the left. Underneath the stairs there is a handy storage cupboard which also houses space for a washing machine, while straight ahead you will find access into the open plan living space. Here there is an impressive vaulted ceiling with light streaming in from tall windows over the top of bi-fold doors that open out to the garden. Another large window is found to the side aspect, creating a bright double aspect, allowing for tonnes of natural light. Space is provided for a sofa, dining table and chairs along with a fitted kitchen providing a range of built in appliances which include a fridge/freezer, electric oven with induction hob and extractor canopy over.
Upstairs a small landing area provides access into the double bedroom which also benefits from useful built in storage as well as a stylish en-suite. This comprises a WC, wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cubicle.
Outside & parking
Unrestricted parking can be found on Portland Street, or any of the adjoining roads. Residents are eligible for a residents permit at Congrams Close car park a short walk way, subject to availability.
Bi-fold doors from the open plan living space open out onto an enclosed, private rear garden, allowing for a very sociable space. This low maintenance courtyard style outside area is laid with artificial grass and is bordered with a brick wall on one side and fencing on the other. This makes for a most unique area which is unusual to find in a property of this size and style, and allows for ample light to illuminate the living space. In addition, it also enjoys a south/west facing aspect.
