Description
Originally built as one house in about 1904, inspired by South African colonial style architecture, the property was converted in the 1940s into two apartments. Occupying the first floor, this elegant apartment exudes charm and character with period detailing including beautiful sash windows. Ideally situated in the heart of Beaconsfield Old Town, the apartment benefits from a courtyard garden, driveway leading to a garage, studio room and allocated parking space.
A private entrance leads into a vestibule, featuring beautiful stained glass windows, and through to the reception hall. Original diamond tiled flooring runs underfoot leading to stairs to the first floor. The accommodation is arranged over two, split level wings of the home with a stunning colonial style balcony wrapping around the front corner of the property, a nod to the South African influence of the building. The sitting room is of wonderful proportions, with door access to the balcony and a beautiful fireplace with a working fire. A further reception room is currently arranged as a study with built-in cabinetry but could be converted into a dining room, family room, or additional bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped with a good range of units complemented by integrated appliances and there is ample space for a table. Located in the front wing of the house, the principal bedroom is an elegant space, featuring a decorative fireplace, bay window to the front and a door on to the balcony. A large en suite bathroom enjoys both a bath and separate shower. A further double bedroom lies adjacent, with a range of built-in wardrobes. Of particular note is the pentagon bay window, overlooking the balcony. The remaining bedroom lies to the rear of the property and is a beautiful triple-aspect double room with a spacious separate dressing area offering lovely views over the garden. Completing the accommodation is a spacious family shower room and a utility cupboard with space for appliances.
A gated path to the side leads to the property entrance and a little further along is the delightful courtyard garden, offering a peaceful retreat. Beyond here is the allocated parking space and single garage with a characterful studio above, ideal as a study but providing a fantastic versatile space.
