Enjoying a peaceful setting within the Gunter Estate Conservation Area, this well-appointed fourth-floor apartment is ready to move into and offers bright, light-filled accommodation. The apartment is situated within a striking building on the south side of Barkston Gardens which benefits from lift access and a porter.

The beautifully maintained Victorian mansion flat has the classic appeal of the Gunter Estate: Attractive red brick, white stone and stucco trim, with black and white chequered tile leading to the front door. The apartment itself has been fully modernised and has been decorated in a light, neutral style, with whitewashed walls and blonde wood floors in the main reception room and bedrooms and tiled floors in the kitchen and shower rooms.

The main living space is a good size with two windows overlooking Barkston Gardens and space for both a sitting area and dining area. Next door is the kitchen, which has sleek white cabinetry, a range of appliances and undermount lighting. The bedrooms are both double size with a good amount of built-in storage. The principal bedroom has its own en suite while the second bedroom has use of a shower room/WC across the hall.

Residents of Barkston Gardens benefit from access to the private communal gardens of the Gunter Estate. At the heart of the square, providing wonderfully leafy views from the front of the apartment, the Barkston Gardens afford a charming green space. The gardens were laid out in 1880 and have, over the years, been beautifully maintained and are home to magnificent plane trees, magnolia, Japanese maple and ornamental cherry, which surround two neat lawns, a central gazebo, a pingpong table and children’s play area.
