Entry is via a grand shared hallway accessed through the front of the building. Original impressive Minton tiled flooring, high ceilings and a decorative central column set the tone for the Regency character of the property. A private front door leads into the apartment s own hallway, with all rooms accessible from here.
The gardens
A small private garden runs along the length of the property and leads directly to the conservatory, providing a pleasant green outlook and a sense of separation.
