A truly exceptional duplex penthouse apartment on the outskirts of the city.
Dating from approximately 1861, Goldsmith House is a handsome period building which was converted into apartments in 1986.
The apartment has wonderful light with large windows and high ceilings and the scale and balance of each room is really impressive. The apartment is beautifully decorated in a really stylish colour palette and the entire property has been incredibly well maintained. All rooms with the exception of the sitting room have individually controlled infrared heating panels. The owners have created a home that is stylish but functional and importantly for them, very easy to lock up and leave. Entry into the main building is via a video camera remote unlocking system making the building particularly secure.
The flat has a spacious reception hall with very attractive vinyl tiled floor and large cloaks cupboard. To the right of the hallway is a study/bedroom three. To the left of hallway is a WC. At the other end of the reception hall is access through to the dining room which is a very bright space with a view towards Hough Green and access through into the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units and integrated appliances to include oven, hob, extractor fan, microwave and dishwasher. A separate utility room leads off the kitchen and the utility room has further storage, a sink and washer/dryer. The utility room is a real bonus and rare to find in an apartment. Steps lead down to a further hallway the owners have created a really clever wine storage area with inset lighting and shelving, it’s a really attractive feature. The elegant sitting room is bright and airy with views towards the front and rear of the building. The room has decorative coving and an attractive mantlepiece with tiled inset. French doors open out from the living room to a balcony which has space for a table and chairs, ideal to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks.
On the second floor, the principal bedroom suite has a separate dressing area and en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom also has an en suite bathroom. Both rooms are spacious and light.
The property has the benefit of a single garage, which has an EV charging point and a boarded over loft space.
Shared Freehold - each of the 6 flats owns 1 share in the Goldsmith House Management Company, which owns the Freehold, and has granted a long lease to each flat, with approximately 958 years remaining. The Management Company is run by the 6 owners.

The space and storage in this apartment is fantastic and a real bonus is the private garage with EV charging point, how many apartments can offer that advantage? I love the proximity to the park and the short walk into the city. This property has it all.
