This superb penthouse apartment occupies the top floor of this prestigious, purpose-built apartment block, which was constructed by reputable developers Hill Residential in 2005. Flat 8 is located on the second floor and is accessed via its own landing. It has been subject to a quality refurbishment in recent years and is presented to a high standard throughout, with particularly spacious accommodation that includes an impressive living room with a high vaulted ceiling.
The generous, L-shaped hallway has access to the principal rooms, a cloakroom with WC and two storage cupboards. Benefitting from a triple aspect, the living room has a high ceiling and a storage eave. Refitted to a high standard, the kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted units with ample worksurfaces, stylish red splashbacks, an inset sink with a mixer tap (chilled and filtered water supply), and integrated appliances including a double oven, a fridge/freezer, a wine cooler, an induction hob and a dishwasher. The room is well lit by four Velux windows and also includes a sizeable eave providing good storage. There are two very generous double bedrooms, with both including extensive fitted wardrobes and well-appointed three and four-piece ensuite bath/shower rooms.
Outside, the apartment block is set well back from the road behind a mature hedgerow, trees, and wrought iron gates. There is a block paved car park with an allocated space and further spaces available for visitors. The delightful, landscaped rear garden is substantial in size and predominantly laid to lawn, with an abundance of mature trees. It enjoys a southerly aspect and includes a paved seating area with surrounding beds. There is an internal store room with each flat having its own allocated caged storage.
