Set in the heart of Watlington, this elegant and spacious apartment forms part of a charming Grade II listed period property. Beautifully updated in recent years, the property has a wealth of original period features throughout. The apartment is approached via attractive wrought iron gates and a pathway to the rear entrance door.
You enter into a spacious hall where a wide and sweeping staircase rises to the first floor. The tastefully decorated interior creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining and the generous south-facing sitting room is particularly lovely, providing a comfortable setting to relax by the wood-burning stove.
The modern kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted, and the bathroom has also been thoughtfully updated, featuring both a classic bath and a contemporary stand-alone shower.
There are three double bedrooms, with the master bedroom enjoying a delightful double aspect and views to both the front and side of the building. The property further benefits from a large, boarded loft and secondary glazing.
