ACCOMMODATION / INTERNAL DESCRIPTION
The property is accessed through a shared entrance and communal stairwell serving just two properties. An exclusive store situated on the half landing provides useful additional storage and houses the central heating boiler. The apartment itself is entered into a long and welcoming hallway which provides access throughout the accommodation.
Immediately apparent is the sense of scale and character found throughout the property, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, traditional panelled doors and tall sash-and-case style windows among the period details retained within the home. The interior has also benefited from recent redecoration and the installation of new radiators.
The lounge is an impressive room and offers excellent flexibility for both sitting and dining furniture. Tall double glazed windows draw in an abundance of natural light and enjoy a far-reaching outlook towards the River Dee and surrounding area. Decorative cornicing, traditional window shutters and an attractive fireplace further enhance the character of the room, while its proportions allow living and dining areas to be created without compromising the sense of space.
Positioned to the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of Poggenpohl units in a two-tone finish, complemented by Corian work surfaces and splashbacks. Appliances include a gas hob with extractor above, fitted oven and dishwasher, with space for additional freestanding appliances. There is also room for a breakfast table and chairs, making this a particularly useful everyday dining space.
The principal bedroom has space for a wide range of freestanding furniture, with the period character retained through decorative cornicing and an attractive fireplace, while the tall front-facing windows provide good natural light and an open outlook.
The second bedroom is also a comfortable double and benefits from fitted wardrobe, storage and desk. Its size makes it suitable as a permanent bedroom, guest room or a generous home office if preferred.
Completing the internal accommodation is the recently upgraded Laings shower room, finished in a contemporary style. Large-format marble-effect Ca Pietra wall tiling complements a generous glazed walk-in shower enclosure, WC with concealed cistern and countertop wash hand basin set upon a vanity unit. A large illuminated circular mirror, wall-mounted brassware, electric underfloor heating and heated towel rail complete the room.
LIFESTYLE & LAYOUT
The scale of the accommodation makes this a versatile two-bedroom home. The substantial lounge comfortably accommodates separate living and dining areas, while the kitchen provides a further informal dining space. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles and the generous room sizes provide flexibility for home working without sacrificing valuable living accommodation. The additional store and exclusive two-storey coach house considerably increase the practical storage and workspace available, making the property particularly well suited to anyone working from home or requiring space for hobbies and projects.
OUTSIDE
To the rear are attractive walled garden grounds with a shared area of lawn, mature shrubs and planting, complemented by paved pathways and gated access onto a pedestrian lane. Exclusive to Number 5 is a south-facing planted border together with a paved area providing space for outdoor seating. An outside water tap is also provided.
A particular feature of the property is the exclusive detached stone-built two-storey coach house. The building provides excellent workshop and storage accommodation and benefits from power. Stairs lead to the upper floor, which has been lined and finished with white walls and provides a versatile additional space suitable for use as an office, studio, hobby room or further storage.
Directly opposite the property is a lawned garden enclosed by traditional metal railings for the use of Devanha Terrace residents. The garden enjoys an open outlook across the surrounding area and is managed by a residents' committee, with an annual fee of approximately £60.
On-street permit parking is available.
