Property description
A fantastic freshly painted three bedroom split-level mid-century modern apartment on the first & second floors of a 1950's mansion block on Burbage Road. The flat has some wonderful original features as well as contemporary kitchen & bathroom units.
On the first floor you'll find the spacious reception room with an exquisite parquet floor, wide windows to the front, recessed deep corner shelves, a feature fireplace and stairs leading to the bedrooms. One brilliant original feature is the existence of the original serving hatch to kitchen!

There are a range of fitted floor and wall cupboards, as well as with some original 1950's cupboards. Appliances include a Lamona gas hob & electric oven and a Zanussi refrigerator.
