Why you’ll like it:

Sitting on some of the most sought-after land in the country, in a development steeped in history, Lainson House is part of the contemporary extension to the converted Victorian hospital, so it has sleek, modern lines and ample glazing in every room. You approach on foot from Clifton Road or by car into the underground car park from Dyke Road where a video entry system provides access and a lift whisks you up to the first floor.

Upon entry, it is clear this is a stylish and well-maintained property with a wide and welcoming entrance hall which includes deep storage cupboards for coats, shoes and household items to ensure the flat remains clutter free. One is a utility cupboard too with space and plumbing for a washer dryer. Wood flooring and white walls provide a smart yet neutral base which will suit all styles of modern furnishing and will be a blank canvas to any new purchasers.

Open plan, with a high ceiling and tall windows on both the south and northerly elevations, the living room is gloriously light and spacious. There are clearly defined areas for formal dining and relaxed seating which can spill outside to the private balcony during summer. Recessed to the rear of the room, yet naturally light due to a skylight, the contemporary kitchen is streamlined and sociable with cashmere gloss, handle-free cabinetry paired with white quartz stone worktops. The AEG and Siemens appliances are integrated to include a fridge freezer, oven, microwave, induction hob and dishwasher, and natural brick splashbacks are lit with LED mood lighting.

All three bedrooms are beautiful doubles with soft carpet underfoot and peaceful garden views. The principal bedroom suite includes a mirrored walk-in wardrobe with ample clothes and shoes storage for two, and a chic en suite with natural stone tiling around the rainfall shower. Bedrooms 2 & 3 have easy access to the main bathroom across the hall which has a similar, natural stone décor, but with a shower over the bath. While these are internal rooms, they are well-ventilated and subtly lit using spotlights.

The insulation for both sound and heat is incredible, so whatever the time of year, you can ensure a warm and restful night’s sleep.
