General Description
Spanning three floors, 2 West Street is a captivating traditional property exuding character and rustic charm, subtly enhanced by tasteful modern finishes. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into the generous east-facing dining living kitchen. With its crisp white walls and polished wooden flooring, it is cosy and inviting and enjoys a light-filled dual aspect. The thoughtfully designed corner kitchen seamlessly blends into the space, yet the aqua-blue metro tiles and rich vivid blue cabinetry help to create a distinct area. These hues contrast nicely with that of the oak-effect worktops and the freestanding appliances that include an oven and fridge. Ascending a staircase adorned with a fashionable herringbone carpet you reach the first floor where a warm and bright double bedroom awaits. With a restful ambience and décor complemented by exposed beams, it is the perfect place to relax. The accommodation on this floor is completed by a contemporary design-led rainfall shower room with WC, washbasin, and chrome towel radiator. Adorned with large porcelain wall and floor tiles it is a luxurious retreat in which to unwind. Continuing to the second-floor skylit landing, you discover a stunning double bedroom. Rich in period details such as exposed wooden beams, stonework and an original open fireplace, the spacious room is bathed in natural light thanks to a skylight and sash and case window. With useful built-in storage, the overall effect is simplistic yet stylish.
