A beautifully presented penthouse one-bedroom apartment enjoying wonderful far-reaching views over Capstone and across the Bristol Channel.
Occupying the top floor of an attractive and characterful property, this well-appointed apartment offers light, comfortable and stylish accommodation in a sought-after coastal setting. The property is presented to a very good standard throughout and would make an ideal permanent residence, second home, holiday retreat or investment opportunity. The apartment is approached via a particularly charming and well-maintained communal hallway, which immediately reflects the character of the building. From here, stairs rise to the penthouse level, where the apartment enjoys an elevated position and a lovely sense of privacy.
Once inside, the accommodation is bright and welcoming, with the main living area taking full advantage of the outlook. A window seat provides the perfect spot to sit, relax and enjoy the impressive views over Capstone and towards the Bristol Channel beyond. The elevated aspect gives the apartment a wonderful feeling of space and light, while also creating a peaceful and cosy atmosphere.
The living space offers room for both relaxing and dining, with the kitchen area arranged to provide practical storage and workspace. The layout is well suited to modern day living, whether used as a main home, a coastal base or a holiday let.
The double bedroom is well presented and includes fitted sliding-door wardrobes, providing useful built-in storage while helping to maximise the floor space. The room is comfortable and neatly arranged, offering a calm and inviting place to retreat. The modern shower room is fitted with a shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin, finished in a clean and contemporary style.
Externally, the property benefits from private parking to the front, a valuable feature in this location and a particularly convenient addition for owners, guests or tenants.
Overall, this is a delightful penthouse apartment combining character, comfort and coastal views, with the added benefit of private parking. Its attractive presentation, elevated outlook and well-proportioned accommodation make it a highly appealing one-bedroom home in a desirable seaside position.
