An elegant Georgian, four bedroom duplex apartment with private terrace and short walk to the city centre, Castle Park and the station.
Character, convenience and hassle free living – time to enjoy life
Imagine waking up in a bright, character-filled flat, sunlight streaming through period windows as the city quietly wakes in the distance. You sip your morning coffee looking out over lush gardens — but you didn’t mow the lawn. You never have to.
You stroll five minutes to the gym, the café, or your office. Your teens can walk to sixth form or meet up with their friends, and best of all? They want to bring their friends home. You always know where they are, and you’re the parent with the “cool” house.
On weekends, Castle Park is your backyard. Long walks, picnics, spontaneous meet-ups — all just steps from your front door. Then you return to your peaceful, gated community, where everything is secure, maintained, and effortlessly managed. Evening BBQ or late night chats putting the world to right in your own private patio.
No DIY lists. No surprise costs. No driving.
Just more space, more ease, more life.
