The Kashmir White granite worktops include a dedicated seamless slab for pastry. High-specification integrated neff appliances comprise dual ovens (one with steam function), a five-ring gas hob with an angled, professional-grade extractor hood designed to maximise headroom, and an integrated microwave.

On the first floor is a beautifully designed principal bedroom positioned to the rear. It features a full wall of floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, dimmable lighting, and bespoke alcove storage flanking the original chimney breast - complete with integrated power points and an adjacent linen cupboard. This generous layout can easily accommodate a king-size bed, a dedicated dressing table area, and a classic Cheval mirror.

Bedroom two is a newly plastered and decorated double bedroom with twin windows maximising the city views. Generous proportions can easily accommodate a double bed, double wardrobe, chest of drawers, and a dressing table.

The bright landing features a full-height utility cupboard housing the washing machine, tumble dryer, and ironing board. With a spiral staircase to the loft space.

One of the property's standout features is the main bathroom, which has been completely transformed into a high-end, boutique-style sanctuary. It is fully tiled, floor-to-ceiling, in luxurious silver-honed Italian travertine. The centrepiece is a striking freestanding slipper bath, complemented by a separate walk-in shower cubicle. Additional features include a sleek fitted vanity unit with an integrated basin, a large wall-mounted mirror with built-in ambient lighting and a demister pad, and a stainless-steel heated towel rail.

The loft space is accessed via a spiral staircase from the landing. It includes a Velux window with city views, eaves storage, and a separate shower room with a cubicle, WC, wash basin, and heated towel rail.
