A truly unique Edwardian share of freehold apartment comprising 1,537 square feet which has been upgraded and extended to an exceptional standard by a local Italian architect with a perfect blend of period features and contemporary style. The versatile and unique family house is created by utilising the ground floor, including a guest annexe, studio space and cellar storage. Through the beautifully designed back extension's floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, reams of light pour into the home's open-plan living area. The kitchen/reception/dining room with modern finishes and an open view of the private landscaped garden immediately impress. The fireplace and external heaters ensure that this is the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. Back inside, you'll find a main bedroom with an en suite shower room, two more bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a shower room. There is a large entrance hall, fitted wardrobes, and storage, as well as a separate utility. A self-contained studio with a kitchenette, shower, and mezzanine sleeping platform is located across the main hall and would be perfect for a nanny or a short-term rental. A separate gated side entrance leads to a covered area for bicycle storage and then into the beautifully planted garden with a fantastic garden room that offers annexe housing with a shower room that has proven to be perfect as a home office.
