Set amongst well-tended trees and gardens, this exclusive development is designed for privacy from the other homes within it. Tucked away in a sweet and verdant cul-de-sac approached from a no through road, it is also remarkably secure. This apartment is in a quiet building towards the back with only two apartments on each floor, and the smart front entrance has an answer phone system and lit glazed door leading to a well-maintained communal hallway.
Up at the top of a staircase on the second floor, this apartment spans the full depth of the building from east to west. Inside, the long hallway is inviting with light coming in from both sides, and storage has been carefully considered with deep double cupboards tucked away.

All three bedrooms are double with the principal room and bedroom two both enjoying chic fitted wardrobes which maximise the floor space. Bedroom three is also double with space for freestanding furnishings, or it would be ideal as a roomy home office for two people looking to work from home on a daily or weekly basis. All bedrooms are carpeted with leafy views so you can enjoy watching the wildlife in the trees and seeing the colours change during autumn. In some ways, it is hard to believe you are so close to the city.
Central to the apartment, a contemporary bathroom has a shower above a shaped bath, and other touches of style include an opaque glass cabinet, mosaic tiling in midnight blue and a modern heated rail for towels.
