20 Parkvale Place features classic, well-proportioned interiors and a wealth of period features and represents a charming city home in a fabulous central location.
The private front door opens into a long entrance hall where soft decor and stripped pine flooring provide a taste of the characterful interiors to follow. Accompanied by excellent built-in storage, the hall flows towards a generous, bay-fronted living room, flooded with south-westerly sunshine and offering outstanding space for comfortable seating and dining furniture. Notable features include original working shutters, a lofty ceiling framed by decorative cornicing and an intricate ceiling rose, a handsome traditional fireplace, and an open Edinburgh press. Next door, a vast dining kitchen provides space for dining and the impressive room features a neatly recessed kitchen with a Belfast sink and range of appliances. In addition, an inset log burner, flanked by an open press, creates a charming focal point and a cosy ambience.
Returning back along the hall, an elegantly-proportioned double bedroom, bathed in south-westerly sunshine, provides generous floorspace for bedroom furnishings. Conveniently adjacent, and completing this outstanding home, is a bathroom with a sink, a WC and a bathtub with an overhead shower, all enveloped in stylish aqua panelling. The flat is heated by a gas central heating system and the windows are single glazed.
Externally, the flat is accompanied by a private garden to the front, with a paved walkway, a lawn bordered by mature shrubs and hedging, and a timber garden shed. On-street parking on Parkvale Place and in the vicinity is conveniently unrestricted.
