Description
The apartment is ideally located on the edge of Norton, adjacent to the Cricket Club. Norton Barracks was constructed between 1874 and 1877 in a Victorian fortress gothic revival style. They remained in service for over a century before being converted to apartments in the mid 1990’s. Brimming with history and character, each block also retains its original name, taken from the officer who raised the first regiments who occupied the barracks.

Apartment 5 is situated at the end of the West Wing of the building. The property is approached down a few steps and has its own private front door leading into a long and welcoming hallway, with doors leading off to the accommodation.

The living room is a spacious and accommodating room and like the rest of the property is stylishly decorated. Both the sash window and the door to the courtyard garden include blinds/shutters that are both practical and elegant.

The kitchen is well-appointed and finished to a high standard, including an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and hob. A sash window overlooks the courtyard garden.

The master bedroom is a generous sized double room, with two sash windows overlooking the courtyard garden. There is also an illuminated built-in media storage and shelving unit, a built-in double wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. The well-appointed ensuite bathroom features a three-piece suite including a Jacuzzi style spa bath with shower over.

The second bedroom is also a double room and has a sash window overlooking the courtyard garden and an ensuite shower room. The ensuite has a three-piece suite, including a steam room shower unit.
