Why you’ll like it:
With a smart exterior, sweeping private roads, neatly planted verges and a peaceful position set well back from the road; Kingsmere is a hugely desirable development. The flats within it have generously proportioned rooms which lend themselves to a range of interiors, but you can always ensure they are beautifully bright due to large picture windows in every room. Being purpose-built, they are well insulated for both heat and sound, and this flat also benefits from a sunny southerly aspect which naturally warms and brightens the space.
As you drive into the complex from the road, the buildings are clearly sign posted. This building sits on the brow of the hill on the left-hand drive where you can park in front of the entrance or within the private garage. Double doors open to a smart communal hallway where stairs or a lift take you up to the second floor where your flat is clearly numbered.
Stepping inside it is clear the flat has been renovated by those with a refined eye for modern interiors. Taking full advantage of the space and light within the flat, each room feels fresh and airy using lighter tones on the walls and floor coverings. The entrance hall is wide and welcoming with a cupboard for coats and shoes, then a corridor stretches back through the flat with composite wood flooring to unify each space. Both bedrooms sit at this side of the flat, away from the main living areas. Each room is a comfortable double with space for freestanding furnishings – although the principal room has a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space allowing for a king bed. The views are green and peaceful, and energy efficient double glazing ensures a restful night’s sleep.
Both bedrooms have easy access to the bathroom and WC across the hall. Classic and clean in white with mosaic wall tiles, the bath also benefits from a rainfall shower over it and there is storage for toiletries below the bason. It would be possible to ‘knock-through’ to the separate WC to create a larger space if need be.
Passing a practical study area – ideal for those working from home, you come to the kitchen. Streamlined white cabinets are paired with solid oak worktops and a natural, rough-edge oak breakfast bar. Within the units, the oven and gas hob are integrated, leaving space for a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer, while the views are a joy to wash up to.
Conveniently next door, the living room is exceptionally spacious with clearly defined areas for relaxation of comfortable furnishings and for a dining table and chairs to seat eight. The southerly wall feels almost entirely glazed framing views over Preston Valley which are ever-changing with the seasons offering a lovely backdrop to the space.
