The attractive terraced houses of Selborne Road were completed in 1881 as part of the Willett Conservative Area which is characterised by substantial homes in pale gault brick. This one bears the architectural features of the period picked out in white against the brickwork, with steps leading down to the apartment door. Stepping inside, you are welcomed directly into the fitted kitchen which has a modern country feel with a butler sink, range cooker and oak worktops. Next door, the utility room has space for two machines and an adjoining pantry, ideal for dry food stuffs, crockery and separate appliances.

From the kitchen, the wide corridor has been repurposed as a separate room for entertaining and dining with a breakfast bar. Nearby, the main reception room is incredibly spacious with a deep bay window almost covering the easterly wall allowing plenty of natural light to stream in. Wood flooring, calico walls and spotlights brighten the space and useful storage has been built into the alcoves around the chimney breast provides the perfect space for a wall mounted TV above the entertainment systems which can sit in the original fireplace space. Moving through the flat, you pass the main bathroom to reach the bedrooms which are peacefully positioned to the rear of the building with garden access. The principal room mirrors the living room in shape and size, boasting a stylish en suite shower room with metro brick tiling and a large walk-in shower. Bedroom two is smaller, leading through to a second reception room and storage space which could be reconfigured to create a larger second bedroom, or third bedroom, to add value.

Facing west, the garden is a suntrap during the summer months and is not overlooked at the rear with mature trees bordering in neighbouring gardens. It is laid to lawn with a patio area closer to the house, but there is huge scope for further landscaping and space for a garden office if needed.
