Divine Art Deco In Prestige Pocket
8/29b Hampden Road, Armadale
There’s so much more to this whole floor Art Deco apartment than its stylishly renovated two bedroom accommodation enjoying a blue-ribbon address, just a short stroll from High Street shops/cafes and City trams/trains. Constructed at a time when many left grand houses for more manageable apartments, its considered design and craftsman finish reflect the era’s demand for “house like” elegance, refinement and livability. Set in story book garden surroundings at the rear of Waveney c1927, a secure exclusive entry, shared by just two, then rise up to the entire superbly spacious first/top floor, with wonderful proportions, blissfully peaceful and private against a sunny northern aspect. Original hardwood floors, high ornate ceilings, glass panelled doors and broad traditional windows (all defining its Art Deco character throughout) add individual charm to a generous living room, retaining its handsome OFP, sunroom/study nook and dedicated dining zone, and two bedrooms with BIRs, one a double; the main, a larger king size. Across the hall, an impressive modern kitchen featuring recently updated appliances, plenty of storage and leafy outlooks is partnered by a stylish contemporary bathroom with under bench laundry. Ducted heating, new carpet, plantation shutters and intercom security provide modern day comfort to an irresistible period home whose final glory is a large remote garage in the former estate’s c.1890 stable building!
