Stunning apartment in prime town location.

Description

Flat 3 is one of four superbly renovated apartments formed from the conversion of the former Masonic Hall, situated prominently within the town centre and affording views of the cathedral and West Front. Flat 3 is on the first floor and is accessed via the main entrance hall with original staircase rising to the upper floors and stairs down to cellar. The cellar has been divided into four areas, one of which belongs to Flat 3. The property is Grade II listed dating from the mid-18th century and affords many of the features of the Georgian period such as elegantly proportioned rooms and sash windows. The property is built of red brick under a part tiled and part slate roof and finished to a high specification throughout with brilliant attention to detail, cleverly blending the period with 21st century living. The hall leads through to the kitchen/dining/ reception room which is a fantastic open plan living space with a range of five west facing windows onto Chequers Square with fitted louvered shutters. The contemporary kitchen has a range of granite work surfaces with units over and below, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. A tall unit houses a double oven and a large granite topped island unit with cupboards under and over provides a breakfast bar. The island unit also incorporates an induction ceramic hob with remote controlled cooker hood above. The utility room, with fitted washing machine, is off the kitchen. Bedroom two/study is off the reception room with en suite shower room and has fabulous views of the cathedral and Norman Tower. The principal bedroom, accessed from the inner hall, benefits from an en suite shower room, to the side of which lies a separate cloakroom.

Whilst the apartment has no allocated garden area, it sits opposite the entry and gates to the historic Abbey Gardens. The property enjoys the benefit of permit parking.
