**Overview**
In brief
This absolute gem of an apartment occupies the second (top) floor of a
Victorian semi detached
property in the heart of New Barnet. Surrounded by shops and restaurants, this
one bedroom property
is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the train station. With its own section
of the rear garden and offstreet
parking spaces this one bedroom apartment would make an ideal first home, pied
a terre, or
investment property.
**Property description
**
This apartment exemplifies bijou living at its best. All space is maximised by
thoughtful planning, and
considered yet characterful décor that creates an appealing ambience whilst
emphasizing the excellent
natural light in this dual aspect property.
The main entrance to the property is accessed via a private pedestrian path
along the side of the
building. Once inside, the apartment front door is on the first floor. From
here there is a stairway (with a
south - facing window and garden views) up to the second floor landing, which is
home to a neat
workspace area. Beyond this are doors to the living room, bedroom and
bathroom, and an open
doorway to the separate kitchen.
The living room has space for lounge and dining areas. It has a large north
- facing window, and a
relaxing atmosphere thanks to all - white walls and woodwork, downlighters, and
a pale grey wood
laminate floor. The separate kitchen opposite has a logical layout and is
well - equipped, with handleless
fitted wall and floor cabinets that house a combination of integrated and
freestanding appliances, and a
smart monochrome tiled splashback. The window above the sink is south facing
with views over the
rear garden.
The double bedroom is a serene sanctuary. Bathed in calming north light, it
has space for a large
double bed and bedroom furniture. The décor matches that of the living room,
fostering a sense of
coherence. The bathroom continues the monochrome theme, with a delightful mix
of gloss white metro
tiles, hexagonal black mosaic floor tiles, a white bath, washbasin console,
and high - tech WC, and a
black shower, taps and heated towel rail. A high - level window provides natural
light and ventilation.
The apartment is in an immaculate condition throughout with high quality
fixtures and fitting, including a
smart home system to control the heating, lighting, and entryphone.
Outside, the side pathway leads to an unusually long rear garden. Extending to
almost 100 ft, this is
split lengthways down the middle, with one side owned by each of the two
apartments in the building.
In practice, the current owners have an informal arrangement to share the
whole space, which is
divided into areas of lawn and hard standing and provides several off - street
parking spaces. The end
of the garden has vehicle access from Lytton Road.
