The Tour

On a quiet, tree-lined street, this first floor apartment is accessed via its own front door.

Ascending the sisal carpeted staircase there are handy bike storage hooks utilising the high ceiling height. Solid oak floorboards run throughout the hallway into the living space at the front of the plan. In the kitchen a run of milk white cabinets line one wall topped with a pretty duck egg blue worktop. Sash windows face onto Cephas Avenue casting light throughout the room spacious room with ample space for dining and entertaining. Restored double doors open into the Inchyra Blue painted living room which has a cocooned, cosy feel. Here a rear sash window ensures there is an abundance of light flowing through the space.

The bedroom is found on the corner and has a curvature reflecting the exterior structure. Finished in soothing Pink Ground, it has in-built cabinetry and hanging wardrobe space. In the Bancha painted landing there is a deep storage cupboard.

Grey tiles offset the Sulking Room Pink walls of the bathroom. A corner shower and in-built vanity unit make clever use of the space.
