Full Description

Situated on the top floor of a beautiful historic building, this penthouse apartment offers well appointed city centre living, with one of the stand out features being the stunning views from the private balcony.

The spacious living area has plenty of room for sofas as well as dining table and chairs. Steps lead down to the split level kitchen which includes beech effect cupboard/drawer units, integrated oven, induction hob with extractor above and space for fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Across the front elevation are large windows which allow light to flood in, and patio doors lead out to the large balcony which boasts fantastic views across the south of the city.

The two double bedrooms are situated to the rear of the building and are presented with modern neutral decor. The bathroom comprises a white three piece suite with shower above the bath and glass shower screen.

Parking: The owner of the property benefits from a discounted season ticket rate at the Bartholomew Street West car park.

The property would be ideal for anyone looking for a city centre home, or as an investment with particular potential for use as a short-term let/Airbnb.
