The Property
An exciting duplex apartment, forming part of a period conversion of a former Victorian laundry. It is situated in the heart of the conservation area within very easy reach of the city centre, mainline station and extensive local amenities.
Arranged over two of the upper floors of the building, it enjoys south-facing views down West View Road to the front, while to the rear is a pleasant, shared outdoor area and an allocated parking space, a rare luxury in such a central location.
Internally, it benefits from light and airy accommodation on two main levels, with the lower floor providing open plan living, dining and kitchen facilities, one of the two double bedrooms, and a stylishly appointed bathroom with a separate laundry area.
A spiral staircase leads to the principal bedroom, which has been greatly improved in recent years and features a main sleeping area, a dressing area, home office area and plenty of integrated storage that cleverly optimizes the space.
Outside
The property sits behind an impressive Victorian warehouse style front elevation, with wide pedestrian access from the front and rear to the main entrance located on the side of the building. At the rear of the building is communal outdoor area, laid to hard paving, and adjacent to an enclosed parking area where there is an allocated parking space for one car, vehicular access leads to Folly Avenue at the rear.
Location
A popular and convenient central conservation area location, within easy reach of the city centre and both stations.
