DESCRIPTION Tucked quietly away just behind the vibrant and bustling Southside Street, the property enjoys an exceptionally peaceful atmosphere despite its wonderfully central position. Access is delightfully atmospheric, approached via a secure gated entrance that leads from a picturesque cobbled road of Castle Dyke Lane. Upon arrival, residents are welcomed through a well-maintained communal garden, providing a tranquil escape before stepping inside through the communal doorway. The apartment itself offers a truly unique layout brimming with character and excellent potential for cosmetic improvement, allowing any incoming purchaser the exciting opportunity to stamp their own style and specification on a home. Stepping inside the flat on the first level, the front of the building accommodates a bright and inviting sitting room alongside an adjacent kitchen, perfectly positioned to enjoy pleasant natural light. Also located to the front is the well-proportioned master bedroom, offering a comfortable and quiet private retreat. Toward the rear of the apartment, you will find a fitted family bathroom alongside a versatile second reception room. This dynamic multi-purpose space can easily be utilised as a home study, creative studio, or cosy evening snug, and features a striking wooden spiral staircase. Ascending this reveals a fantastic mezzanine-level bedroom, creating a wonderful sense of space and a private, elevated sleeping or guest area.
