The property offers its new owners a flexible layout to easily convert it to a two-bedroom flat. The superb location means a wealth of thriving amenities, bars, and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as idyllic green spaces and a nearby tram stop on Balfour Street.

Reached via a shared entrance and stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall with light neutral décor and wood-inspired flooring, found throughout most of the property.

The hall also provides built-in storage before leading through to the living room. This reception area continues the style of the hall, providing buyers with a blank canvas that is easy to dress. It is well-proportioned for a variety of lounge and dining furnishings; plus, it is brightly illuminated by a southeast-facing window, set beside a shelved recess. In the dining kitchen, spacious dimensions accommodate a table and chairs, alongside generous cabinet storage and sweeping worksurfaces.

It has an attractive look, and it comes with an integrated oven and gas hob, a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine.

The airy double bedroom affords enough space for various bedroom furniture pieces, as well as a home workstation. The property is completed by a WC and a separate two-piece shower room.

Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. Conveniently, controlled permit parking (Zone 2) is available in the vicinity.

Alternative layout – (be sure to check out our alternative floor plan design and CGI images) 

The flat offers wonderful flexibility to be used as a two-bedroom city home.

The most cost-effective alternative to its current layout is to turn the rear dining kitchen into Bedroom 1 and turning the current living room into an open plan lounge/ dining area/ fitted kitchen, creating one large sociable space for living, dining, and cooking (see the alternative floor plan on the back page).

Please note: all changes will be subject to planning consent. The new living/dining/kitchen image is a Computer Generated Image (CGI) of what the room could look like, done to actual size specifications. The bedroom is a virtually renovated image.
