"We've enjoyed sitting beneath the skylight, reading and listening to music. The apartment has the bright and airy feel of a rooftop space, despite being a basement flat."

The home

This charming basement flat is accessed via the rear entrance on Cemetery Road, through a private garden space that the current owners have enjoyed for outdoor seating and summer barbecues. On entering the flat, you'll find a generously sized double bedroom to the left, complete with access to an en-suite wet room. Continuing along the hallway, the property opens into a bright and inviting open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. This space feels particularly light and airy, enhanced by a large Velux window that floods the room with natural light.
