why you’ll like itWith more elegance than its younger neighbours, this seafront apartment building has decorative brick work and hung tiles on its bowfronted façade. Built during the 1920s, the interior also bears many original features, and in this apartment, they have been blendedbeautifully with contemporary design.

A central path leads you to a vestibule, where a secure entry phone system opens the door to the well-kept communal hallway, and aflight of stairs takes you up to the first floor, where your door is clearly numbered on the left. From the moment you enter, you are awarethat this is a generous and stylish apartment. A wide entrance hall with high ceilings greets you, and the original panelled doors have beenstripped and varnished in natural tones. Plush grey carpets flow from here and into the main living areas, and there are two full heightstorage cupboards for coats, shoes and household item to keep the flat clutter free.

First on the left is the gracious living room, where a sizable bow window fills the room with light, and frames harbour and sea views alongthe coast. This also provides the ideal spot for a dining table and chairs so you can watch the sun rise and set while you eat, and withnewly fitted uPVC windows, you can assure you are both warm and undisturbed by sounds from outside. Mirroring this is size andorientation is the master bedroom next door which also benefits from a beautiful period fireplace with inlaid tiles and a grand whitemantelpiece with a mirror insert. There is ample space in here for a king size bed, as well as several pieces of bedroom furniture, and theenergy efficient windows again ensure a peaceful night's sleep.

Across the hallway is the newly fitted kitchen, which is on-trend with sleek white units topped with solid oak, and the splashbackscomplement in white metro brick tiling. The units are at base level only which adds to the feeling of space, yet a tall larder provides plentyof storage, and again the original door has been stripped to echo the worktops. Space and plumbing have been left for a washing machineand a tall fridge freezer, but the Lamona dishwasher, electric oven and induction hob have all been integrated for you. A door leads outto the fire escape from here, or can be left open during the warmer months to let some of the 'outside-in', and the windows look out overthe communal gardens below.

Bedroom two shares the same views across neighbouring gardens, and bedroom three; while slightly smaller, has space for a double bed,but would also work well as a peaceful home office perhaps?Conveniently nearby, the bathroom has a classic monochrome palette witha chequerboard floor, and the deep bath has a traditional shower attachment. The WC is separate next door - useful when in a sharedspace, and shares the same smart décor.

what the owner says"It is a really peaceful flat for one on thecoast road, and is so wonderfully light. Thecity is still really accessible from here by trainand bus, or in the summer it is a lovely20-minute walk along the promenade."
