Why you’ll like it:
A private paradise behind red brick walls, Berea House is set well back from the road within its own leafy grounds. Soothingly symmetrical with a beautiful porch the entrance impresses and inside has a fine example of a high Victorian staircase which sweeps up past a large stain glass window to the front door to this apartment.
Inside, the inviting hall is unusually broad with a ceiling which soars to almost 3 metres above your head and there is ample space for organised storage. Ahead, the first of the double bedrooms is light and airy with elegant proportions and restful views across the gardens.

Along a passageway lined with windows, sunlight streams through the stately bay which almost fills the south wall of the large reception. Classically beautiful with wood flooring underfoot and period coving decorating the lofty ceiling, an original fireplace adds grandeur and there is plenty of space in which to relax with a book beneath the west window or to entertain guests who can dine enjoying the garden. Tucked away behind a social central island with a choice of lighting levels and matt units which blend with the wall colour so they do not dominate the space, the streamlined kitchen has practical surfaces. Thoughtfully planned, it is also ready for use with an electric hob and oven beneath a discreet hood and the fridge, freezer and dishwasher are also integrated for you.

Next door with two windows in the west wall the principal bedroom is a restful retreat to return to at the end of a busy day in the city. Quietly positioned away from the road it is beautifully decorated in subtle hues with carpet, so you won’t need to change a thing. A few steps take you down to a bright landing with the stylish bathroom on one side, which has a shower above the bath and large airing cupboard, whilst on the other a utility room is small but perfectly formed with natural light, space for more storage and plumbing for a machine. Bathed in morning sunshine, between the two is the perfect place to work from home in peace and comfort.

Owner’s Secret:
“With lovely, leafy surrounds, every room is light and airy in the summer but also warm and cosy in winter, and the reception is ideal for entertaining. I also love the restful proportions of the apartment where I can work in the morning light and enjoy the evening sunshine in the living room.”
