Full Property Description:

We are delighted to offer this stunning two bedroom penthouse apartment in one of Nottingham’s most sought after residential areas.

Developed from a substantial former Victorian residence, the property has been caringly developed into an exclusive development of 3 luxury apartments.

Situated on Lenton Avenue, the property is tucked away close to the North entrance gate of the Estate. This location offers the benefit of being nestled away in a private corner of the estate whilst only being a 5-10minutes walk of local amenities.

This penthouse apartment enjoys stunning views from every window. Commanding an elevated position, the top floor location affords fabulous views of the Park’s impressive tree lined streets, surrounding landscaped gardens and over Nottingham to Wollaton Hall and beyond.

Originally designed to be a 3 bed apartment, the owner reconfigured the layout at the development stage to comprise of 2 substantial bedrooms & a generously proportioned open plan living space.

The renovation completed in 2018 has been carried out with an impressive attention to detail and craftsmanship. The property’s period heritage has been maintained whilst upgrading it to present standards. Quality and comfort were clearly in the centre of mind when being designed and the property is beautifully presented throughout.

The property is owner operated and directly looked after by the owner’s dedicated property management team so efficient, caring and professional management is assured.

The property has been neutrally decorated ready for the start of the new tenancy with the carpets professionally cleaned.

The property comes part furnished, please see the furnishing summary below for more details.

Available immediately, the property will not be available for long so viewing and applications are advised at the earliest opportunity to secure this spectacular Park Estate Penthouse.

Driveway and Access

In addition to the two Park Parking Permits available to residents, this property benefits from off street parking on a secure shared driveway accessed by electric gate.

The 3 apartments that share the building also share a guest space on the drive which is organised between the residents.

Entrance Hallway and Stairwell:

The elegant communal entrance features the charming original tiled flooring as well as marble stairwell columns which lead up the first story stone stairwell.

The crafted wooden staircase leads up past other original period features including the large leaded window pane which is set in the original stone frame and rises to the top floor via the second and third floor landings.

Set alone on the top floor, the penthouse benefits from the exclusive use of the third floor landing, offering not only additional privacy but also additional storage space for bikes or other bulk items.

Apartment Hallway:

Upon entering the apartment you are greeted by the ample apartment hallway off which all the other rooms lead.

The intercom system provides access to guests on the ground floor electric gate and front door without need for you to leave the apartment.

Attractive wooden flooring runs through from the hallway and into the communal areas. 

Kitchen:

The high end kitchen is fitted with modern handleless gloss cabinetry. There is an impressive amount of kitchen storage space included in the wall and base cabinets as well as additional space in the island unit.

Those that enjoy cooking will be pleased to see there is a 4 ring gas powered hob instead of the usual electric stoves normally featured in apartment developments.

The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances and dishwasher as well as a modern combi boiler powering the central heating.

As well as providing additional storage the kitchen island is a fantastic addition for convenient dining and socialising and comes with 3 designer stools.

Dining area:

As well as providing magnificent views out over the tree tops and roof pots of Nottingham, the windows on both the east and western faces ensure the open plan dining space is bathed in natural light and fresh air.

Come the evening time the mood lighting provided by the different lights ensure the perfect mood for any occasion.

The large window alcove makes the perfect spot for leaning back in the reclining chair to enjoy a book or a refreshing drink.

Living room:

Set aside from the dining space the living room makes the perfect setting for getting snuggled down and watching a good boxset or reading today's newspaper.

As a whole the entire communal area has a spacious and modern feel with wooden floors and neutrally decorated walls. Perfect for making the space feel like your own.

Master bedroom & ensuite:

Even with a king sized bed centrally located in the room, the generously proportioned bedroom provides a genuine sense of space. The Eastwardly facing alcove window bathes the room in beautiful morning light and the sloped ceilings in the corners of the room provides a real sense of character and charm

The tiled floors and walls provide a premium sense of quality in the ensuite and features a large walk in shower tray with rainfall shower head alongside the other quality bathroom fixtures and fittings.

Guest bedroom:

Before the main area of the guest bedroom there is a throughway which features built in wardrobes along each side of the passage. These large floor to ceiling wardrobes are ideal for storing coats, boots and other bulkier items such as hoover, mop/bucket and other essentials.

Within the end cupboard there is also an access hatch which provides access to the loft space behind the bathroom wall. This fantastic space provides storage space for skis, golf clubs or any other items which are often difficult to find space for in the majority of properties without a secure garage.

Once again, the main bedroom area is far larger than the average bedroom and the rich blue feature wall offset with the wall mounted bedside table and lamps make for a contemporary second bedroom and/or office area.

Main Bathroom:

This well designed bathroom complete with 3 bathroom piece suite with included integrated bath and shower provides ensure bathers and showers alike are catered for.

The cleverly recessed Velux window not only provides a wonderful view out over the western rooftops but also allows for natural light and air into this beautiful, fully tiled bathroom suite.

It is perfect for city living with the unique advantage of having a 'village feel'. This unparalleled combination makes The Park one of Nottingham’s première residential locations as well as a beautiful place to live.

With the train station and city centre being just a 10 minute walk away, convenience and beautiful surroundings is what makes the Park such a highly sought after setting.

The Park also boasts one of the UK's premier Squash Clubs with 10 courts, sauna, gym and steam rooms. In addition the lawn tennis club attracts members from all over the East Midlands.

The Apartment’s location:

Residents of Lenton Avenue enjoy living in a close walk to the Newcastle and Lincoln circuses. These wonderful landscaped garden spaces are maintained for local residents to enjoy for free on their doorstep and often host farmers markets and other charming events.  

Conveniently located near the North entrance at the edge of the estate, Canning Circus and The Ropewalk are just a couple of minutes stroll from your front door. The city centre, QMC and both universities are also within short walking distance.

Nottingham’s location

With Nottingham’s central location to the UK supported by excellent road and rail links, Nottingham’s central location allows access to majority of the UK within easy reach, normally no more than 3-4 hours.

Benefitting from being on a main line train London can be reached in as little as 90 minutes and Birmingham in just over 1 hour.

Road links are also excellent, with a number of major roads a short drive away, these include the M1, A46 and A52.            

The Park’s History

Laid out on land previously attributed to Nottingham Castle and owned by the Dukes of Newcastle; The Park estate has a unique history and set of characteristics making it one of the most remarkable residential estates in the UK.

The estate still adopts the use of the traditional gas street lighting; and is believed to be one of the largest networks in Europe. This delightful feature makes the estate particularly atmospheric at night.

Showcasing a rich mixture of some of the finest Victorian architecture and masonry from the period the Estate has many examples of properties designed by the famous Nottingham based architects Watson Fothergill.

Fothergill and other rival architects would be commissioned by well healed families of the period and challenged to outdo their neighbours in accomplishing the most ornate and impressive building and garden designs.  

As architectural tastes have evolved over time, The Park also showcases some other wonderful examples of the varying architectural styles from over the last 200 years.

Steeped in historical significance within English heritage, The Park Estate is genuinely one of a kind and lovingly cared for by Park residents and local communities.
