If you’re looking for a penthouse apartment that is completely unique, packed with character and charm, and oozing luxury, rather than the sleek but slightly sterile feel of a modern new-build apartment, then read on.
Overview
At 152sqm this stunning apartment is much larger than average. It has balconies on three sides, two open fireplaces, two huge reception rooms (one could be used as a bedroom), two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest cloakroom, a modern kitchen breakfast room, an impressive hallway, loads of storage, a private garden, a garage, and so many hidden features that make living in this apartment feel quite special.
The current owner was attracted by the unique feel of this apartment, the space and the panoramic views. With a demanding job and a busy social life, this apartment fully met her needs - comfortable and cosy for downtime, yet spacious and flexible for parties and gatherings.
Living In This Apartment
All rooms lead from the rather grand entrance hall with overhead skylight, automatically creating a feeling of space.
The lounge is an excellent size so it’s great for having friends’ round, but the sloping ceilings and fireplace also make it feel very cosy for more intimate evenings in. The small balcony gives welcome outside space and provides a means of escape in an emergency.
The dining room can also be used as a third bedroom but as a dining room it allows for large family meals and dinner parties. It has an open fireplace and leads out onto the largest of the three balconies, which is a peaceful spot to adjourn to for a post dinner coffee or glass of champagne while watching the fireworks.
The kitchen breakfast room catches the morning sun, and with white units and worktop it’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee and croissant.
The main bedroom is the perfect retreat after a long day. It has soft carpeting, sloping ceilings, another balcony, and a stylish en suite shower room.
However, to really unwind from the stresses of the day, the extra-deep bath in the main bathroom is a must - free standing, with a recessed shelf alongside with in-built lighting (or perfect for candles and a glass of wine), and with sky views from the window in front. A separate guest WC means that the bathroom can be kept private.
Bedroom two is a smaller double, perfect for visiting friends.
Outside to the front is the penthouse's garden. This has high fences and hedges to provide privacy, a decked seating area, flower beds and a main gravel area.
There is also a single garage in a row of three and off-street parking.
What You Don’t See
In the past five years this flat has been fully renovated, with great attention to detail and no compromise on quality, for example:
- The real wood herringbone flooring sits on top of concrete sound proofing, so you don’t need to worry about disturbing the neighbours below.
- The bath is made of stone and weighs in at 150kg, it’s deep and luxurious.
- The internal doors are bespoke solid wood.
- The basins in the bathroom and en suite are both bespoke and hand painted.
The garden, external decoration and communal areas have also been upgraded in the past two years.
