This first and second-floor apartment – beautifully presented and deceptively spacious, in a convenient setting close to the village centre – is open to view this Saturday from 10.30am to noon.
Set in a characterful stone building, this impressive apartment has been appointed to an exceptionally high standard with a private entrance, elegant sitting room with adjacent dining room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, a luxury bathroom and a converted roof space accessed via a spiral staircase.
The vendor bought the property 20 years ago, and fell in love with it straightaway because it was so different. “Over the years I have done lots of work to the whole property. It’s like a Tardis, because from the outside you would never believe how much space there is inside.”
To the side, the entrance vestibule has a ceramic tiled floor and a staircase leading to the first floor where there is a landing with a store cupboard, a good-sized sitting room with a marble fireplace, moulded ceiling cornice and an open archway into a large dining room, which again has a moulded ceiling cornice, and a spiral staircase to the converted roof space.
The kitchen has a ranged of fitted base and wall units including cupboards, drawers and heat- resistance working surfaces with a tiled surround. Fitted with an electric oven hob, there is also space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for an automatic washer.
In the double bedroom is a fitted wardrobe with mirror-fronted sliding doors and further fitted furniture including an extensive range of drawers. At the rear of the wardrobe is a concealed staircase which previously gave access to the roof space.
Also on this floor is the family bathroom with a modern white suite including a panelled bath with shower and folding glass screens, pedestal wash basin and a low- suite WC, vinyl flooring and tiled walls.
On the second floor is the remaining bedroom with a roof light, pine-panelled sloping ceiling, recessed cupboard, and under-eaves store cupboard.
The converted roof space, which has a window to the side and a laminate floor together with under eaves storage, provides a useful additional area suitable for a variety of uses.
