A unique opportunity to acquire a spacious, 3 bedroom apartment in one of the city's most visionary buildings- The Old Office Block. Comprising 6 apartments on the upper floors and a community room and three business units on the ground floor, this multi award winning eco build is part of the highly desirable Yard self building development. Originally an office building from the 1960's, the building was converted into its current use by the original 6 apartment owners, 11 years ago.
Flat 1, is located on the first floor of the building and has two entrances; the main entrance via the side gate leads into a communal hallway which leads onto a central staircase serving all 6 apartments. Flat 1 also has a very useful private entrance via a dedicated path at the back which leads up onto the flat's private covered deck area where double doors open onto the kitchen, dining and living area.
This incredible open plan space has engineered oak flooring and glazing on three elevations making it a naturally well lit room. The kitchen comprises a central island and breakfast bar with white base units and contrasting oak stave worktops. There is space for a large range style cooker and a ceiling mounted extractor hood. On the opposite wall there is a straight run of wall and base units and space for a freestanding fridge freezer. On the other side of the kitchen island is a dining area suitable for a large dining table. Head into the living area and you will be able to enjoy an elevated outlook through the valley of the surrounding area and the common greenspace in the middle of The Yard. The living area is well proportioned and offers plenty of space for different living room configurations and features a gas fired 'balanced' flue.
A hallway leads through to the three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is situated on the back of the property with a leafy green outlook onto the tranquil wooded greenspace beyond the back boundary of the property.
A run of built in wardrobes keeps the bedroom clutter free and offer ample storage for clothes. The en suite shares the same leafy outlook as the bedroom and features a walk in shower with glass screen and fully tiled enclosure, built in sink unit with cupboards below and a toilet with concealed cistern.
The second double bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and looks onto the communal garden and the surrounding semi rural setting around the city farm. In the adjacent room is a third double bedroom sharing the same beautifully tranquil and elevated outlook as the other rooms on the front of the apartment. A family bathroom is positioned between the bedrooms and living area and features a side paneled bath with shower over and tiled surround. There is an inset sink with storage below, a toilet with concealed cistern and raised storage cupboards. A window provides an outlook onto the woodland area behind.
Externally, at the rear there is a private south facing deck area perfect for entertaining or enjoying the day's sun. Beneath the deck is a useful storage space. The garden at the back of the property is private and is exclusivley owned, maintained and used by the apartments' residents. Additionally, there is a store with green roof which is used by the residents for storing bikes and garden equipment. At the front of the property there is one allocated parking space for Flat 1. On the opposite side of the road is a communal greenspace which is shared between the residents of The Old Office Block and the other neighbouring houses in The Yard.
This fantastic property is different to anything else on the market in St Werburghs at present. The property offers a larger footprint across one floor than many of the period properties in the vicinity whilst also offering allocated parking, modern construction, reliability, efficiency and low running costs. This is without doubt one of the most intriguing, exciting and important properties we have listed and should appeal to those considering a move to St Werburghs or who want to join an environmentally conscious, close knit community.
