Purple Bricks have recently added an interesting new property from their housing portfolio in the guise of a penthouse duplex flat. The location, Scholar’s Gate, should give residents an idea about where this property, listed for £399,900, is housed and perhaps that feeling of wrapped knuckles might return to your hands.
The flat is housed in a former school originally built in 1851, complete with original features still present, with all the charm and character you would expect from a period building. Don’t think for one moment though that the inside is just school desks and the smell of chalk dust in the air - the interior of the property is flush with all the modern furnishings and conveniences one would need in the 21st century.
The unique apartment contains two bedrooms, one of which is a full width gallery aspect and an area for a desk and home office, an open plan lounge and kitchen with four impressive front facing large feature arched windows and exposed brickwork and an iron spiral staircase leading to a modern and spacious bathroom, en-suite to the mezzanine master bedroom floor.
In the property listing on Zoopla, the letting agents say “we believe this property will appeal to executives, companies and investors alike, with a light and airy feel to every room offers everything within a superb exclusive location. This is a unique apartment that really does have many internal features that must be viewed to be appreciated.”
