An Exquisite, Recently Renovated Ground Floor Duplex Apartment In A Prime Town Position

A seamless blend of history and modern living, this elegantly renovated heritage property is the result of a full-scale transformation. Every inch of the home has been thoughtfully reimagined to enhance functionality and comfort, while paying deep respect to its architectural origins.

The property
A handsome stone-built double-fronted period property with high ceilings and large windows that accentuate the home’s generous proportions. It has been conscientiously designed to provide light-filled and flexible accommodation that occupies the ground and lower ground floors. The current owners have recently completed a full refurbishment of the property to feature high specification fixtures and fittings with refined interior décor throughout. The works include a full mechanical and electrical rewiring and new high-efficiency boilers and radiators. The lower ground floor has been excavated and converted to significantly extend the living accommodation and has been fully water and damp-proofed with the addition of a mechanical ventilation system. There is underfloor heating throughout the lower ground and selected upper areas for enhanced comfort. The restoration and preservation of the heritage of the property have also been a key part of the works completed. The coving, wall panelling, and timber shutters have been meticulously preserved and restored, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of a bygone era. These elements now stand proudly alongside sleek, modern additions such as new timber sash windows and doors to match original profiles and improve thermal performance with the latest vacuum glazing. The whole creating a harmonious dialogue between past and present.

The accommodation flows from a private entrance lobby to an impressive and welcoming part-panelled reception hall. The generously proportioned sitting room has a large south facing front aspect bay incorporating large sash glazing, not only admitting a wealth of natural light but also providing stunning views over the front garden to The Stray beyond, together with a feature moulded ceiling and a modern remote-operated gas fireplace. The magnificent, bespoke kitchen provides a range of wall and base units with complementary worktops and splashbacks and a large marble central island with breakfast bar on each length for an informal dining setting. There are modern integrated appliances which comprise two Miele ovens, with warming drawers, a combination microwave oven and a six-ring induction hob.

There is also a Miele fridge and freezer, a Miele coffee machine, two wine chillers, a dishwasher and a Quooker hot/sparkling water tap. Double doors open from the kitchen to a useful utility room also fitted with bespoke complementary range of units providing plenty of additional storage space, and with a door to a rear porch with access to the rear courtyard garden. There are two sizable double bedrooms, both with extensive custom-made built-in storage, and one with a secret door to a luxury en suite shower room with twin sinks. Completing the ground floor is a further premium family shower room, also with twin sinks and suitable for use as a guest cloakroom.

A custom-built staircase with book match feature tiled walling leads to the lower ground floor where you will find a practical laundry room with a door opening to external stairs. There is also a fabulous cinema room that is perfect for entertaining, this space lends itself for a multitude of uses such as a home gym or office.
