Apartment 15

Apartment 17 makes a point of light. Dual aspect sash windows to the living room and kitchen. Sash and roof windows to both bedrooms. A large bathroom with its own sash window. This is a two-bedroom first-floor apartment that has been designed to feel open and generous at every point of the day – and it succeeds.

Apartment 16 is a first-floor home that knows what it is: spacious, well-organised, and deeply comfortable. A large living and dining area adjoins a beautifully fitted open plan kitchen, with bay sash windows bringing light into both the living space and the bedroom. A dedicated study provides the flexibility that a well-rounded retirement often needs.

Apartment 14 is a bright, airy first-floor home with bay windows to both the living area and the bedroom, a Jack & Jill bathroom with a separate entrance from the bedroom, and a dedicated study – this is a layout designed with considered independence in mind. Rooms that do different things. Space used properly.

Enjoying a bright dual aspect living/dining room with two full height sash windows. There is a generous spacious master bedroom with two full height sash windows.

Apartment 12 proves the point: a bijou first-floor studio in Finch House, with a sash window, skylights that bring additional natural light into the space, and a large storage cupboard that keeps everything in its place. It is compact, beautifully made, and completely manageable.

Apartment 11 is not short of beautiful lighting. Eight beautiful sash windows surround the living area – a figure that sounds improbable until you see it, and then makes perfect sense for a Grade II listed building of this age and character. Add a reading nook set into the turret, Jack & Jill bathroom doors connecting the bedroom and hallway, and a dual aspect layout, and you have a first-floor apartment that is as practical as it is beautiful.

Apartment 10 at Finch House is quite remarkable. On the first floor of Finch House, it has the kind of proportions and natural light that remind you this is no ordinary building – and one feature in particular that will stop you mid-viewing: a galley kitchen laid out within the building’s historic tower, with dual aspect windows on two sides and a quality of light that makes cooking feel like a pleasure rather than a task.
