Apartment 10
5 Cowper Street

Beautifully decorated and stylishly appointed, this two-bedroom duplex apartment situated in the iconic Grade ll listed Wheatsheaf Court development. Dating back to 1891, Wheatsheaf Works was built for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. It was the largest footwear factory in the world at the time but the building was converted by Urban Rhythm Developments back in 2011 into 172 properties, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom properties. The building has been reconfigured with excellent attention to detail including the use of ornate decorative brickwork, arched feature windows and high ceilings throughout the whole development.

The property is now available to let on a furnished basis.

The accommodation, in brief, begins with the living room which is accessed through a composite door via the communal grounds with a pleasant private south facing front courtyard garden complemented with astro-turf grass and a seating area. Bright and airy, the living room is presented in excellent condition throughout and provides access to an elegant kitchen diner. With exposed brickwork and beams, high ceilings and two large double-glazed windows to the front aspect, the source of natural light floods the space on offer.  With ample space for entertaining friends and family, the concept that the heart of the home is the kitchen is very apparent here. To the first floor is a spacious landing (which could be configured as a study area) that leads to a further stairwell that provides access to two well-appointed bedrooms (with the master bedroom benefiting from an en-suite) alongside a stylish three-piece family bathroom. The property comes with allocated parking located in an underground and secure car park permitted for residents of the development only.
