Next to Park. Pet Friendly. History: This house was built nearly 70 years ago. It was originally converted into a petrol station and became a landmark during the 1960s. Later, it was transformed into a pool hall and served as a hire shop for the Kennards. Our business was fortunate enough to relocate to this building. Over the years, the house remained hidden among other buildings and was used mainly for storage while each owner made improvements. We love its almost anonymous charm and decided to restore it to its former glory. Now, it stands as a sanctuary nestled in our busy hub, conveniently close to everything yet sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the world. Location: Bus stop is less than 20 meters from the house. It is just a stone's throw away from train and ferry services, and convenient street parking is available. You'll find various restaurants, cafés, and pubs within 500 meters. Kitchen: The kitchen has everything you'll need, including a convection oven, induction stove top, kettle, toaster, microwave, and fridge. We also provide common seasonings and condiments to make your stay more enjoyable. Lounge: The cozy lounge features a queen-sized inner spring sofa bed with a smart TV connected to free Wi-Fi, all designed for comfort and relaxation. Bedroom: The bedroom includes a queen-sized bed, two full wardrobes, a shoe storage shelf, and a suitcase stand. You'll find two plush, fluffy robes hanging on the back of the door, perfect for slipping into after a long day. Bathroom: The bathroom boasts a full shower with a brushed gold rain showerhead in a frameless glass enclosure, a toilet, and a mounted sink. A front loader washer/dryer and all essential toiletries, including toothbrushes and laundry powder, are included. Overview: This charming one-bedroom apartment with a sofa bed in the lounge is well-equipped for your needs. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, convection oven, fridge, smart TV, and free Wi-Fi. Throw blankets, pillows and original art pieces are scattered throughout this home for you to enjoy. Enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle -
