Property DESCRIPTIONPerched on the second floor of Kempston House, on The Downsway in South Sutton, this isn't your typical one-bedroom flat. The current owners have a brilliant eye for interiors and have created a space that feels super stylish, with a contemporary look, calming neutral tones and the sort of finish we'd all happily move straight into. The rooms are surprisingly generous, giving the apartment a much bigger feel than you might expect, while the modern kitchen and bathroom are both beautifully done and ready to be enjoyed from day one. One of our favourite features has to be the private balcony. It's a lovely little extension of the living space, with room for seating and a peaceful outlook over tree-lined Downsway below. Whether it's a coffee before work, a sunny weekend brunch or a glass of wine at the end of the day, we can easily picture it becoming one of the most-used spots in the home. Practicality is well covered too, with a secure entry phone system, an allocated parking space to the rear and three visitor spaces for friends and family when they pop over. The location strikes a great balance between being quiet and well connected. Sutton Station is around half a mile away, making commutes into Victoria in around 30 minutes very manageable, while Sutton High Street is just a little further on. From cafés, restaurants and gyms to supermarkets, the cinema and Oru Space & Rooftop, you're genuinely spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do locally. The sellers are also in the process of extending the lease as part of the sale, so while there are currently 88 years remaining, this won't be the case by the time completion comes around. All in all, we think this is exactly the kind of home that will appeal to someone looking for a space that feels a little more considered, a little more stylish and ready to slot straight into modern life.
