Flat 2 at Rockmount is a stunning conversion that forms the majority of the ground floor of this handsome stone built former mansion house. Accessed from Sinclair Street by a tree lined private lane, the building affords a tranquil and private setting, with the property having its own generous, private garden area.
It is understood that the original part of the building was built around 1860 and the extended part of the building at the rear was built in 1870. It is thought that the property was converted into flats in the late 1950's. Extending to over 1900 square feet in total, the property has undergone significant upgrading works by the current owners and combines characterful period details, tasteful decor and a high end modern specification throughout. To the front of the building there is communal parking for the residents and visitors and the property has its own single car garage adjacent.
Entering the building from the car park, an outer vestibule features a mosaic tiled floor, with a solid timber door with leaded and stained glass panels leading through to the main communal reception hall that features half panelled walls and herringbone timber flooring. From here, a new composite door leads into the apartment itself. The reception hall is large and welcoming and gives access to the drawing room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. The drawing room is a very large formal public room with decorative cornicing, a south facing oriel window, feature timber fire surround with multiburning stove. A door leads through to a secondary sitting room which has south and west facing windows, a feature marble fireplace and intricate cornicing. The master bedroom is a large double bedroom with south facing window. Across the hall is the stunning dining room, with its timber panelled walls, feature fire surround and display shelving. A door from here leads to an inner hall that accesses two further double bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room) and also the main bathroom which has a bath, separate shower cubicle, vanity wash basin and wc. Moving back to the main reception hall, at the far end is the kitchen which is stylish in design and comes with timber wall and base units and a range of appliances. There is a recessed utility area at the far end and French doors open out to the conservatory. This is a fabulous space that is fully double glazed and makes for a comfortable living and dining area overlooking the private garden, with French doors and steps leading down to the garden, with a large lawn and paved patio, all enclosed by fencing. The property is mostly double glazed with replacement windows and has gas fired central heating
