JIMMY Cagney would love this property.

It’s top of the world, ma… And that’s in more than one sense – for as well as being highly placed, this superbly-presented penthouse home in the iconic Westgate might just be the best apartment on the city centre market at the moment.

As the penthouse tag would suggest, it sits at the top of what has become a landmark building, a contemporary development which is ideally placed a stroll away from the railway station and a hop, skip and a jump from the city centre.

And it has views, oh such marvellous views… Who could live in a home like this?

Well, there is an equitable mix in the Westgate Apartments, from young professionals to older people who have downsized from their country piles or town houses.

It’s that sort of building, attracting discerning buyers seeking to make the most of smart, modern accommodation in a fantastic location.

The penthouse, as you would imagine, incorporates all of those elements, everything, in fact you could want from a smart city centre pad.

Having made your way up to the top of the building from the eye-catching central atrium – having been greeted by the building’s personal concierge at entry level – you enter the penthouse to be met by a large reception hall (it’s 16ft long and you don’t get many apartment hallways that big!).

On this floor you will find the bedroom/ bathroom arrangement. There are two bedrooms, both big double rooms, one of them having windows to two sides (letting in lots of light, but also giving you a glimpse of the amazing views to come). The bedrooms are served by a smart house bathroom and a shower room.

And there is also a useful study on this floor for those who need to do the odd bit of work from home.

Then you skip up a feature curving staircase to find that top of the world wow factor… The living area is just wonderful, a marvellous, and unusual, curving open-plan spot with full-length windows all the way around and doors out to the roof terrace.

At one end of the curve you have a kitchen, beautifully fitted in high white wall and base units and contrasting black work surfaces (with a good range of quality integrated appliances, naturally). Then comes a dining area, which in turn flows into a living area – and from all of this space you have the most remarkable views.

Step outside onto the terrace, which runs around three sides, and you really get to see this apartment’s wow factor.

The city is laid out before you with a superb panorama, flowing away over the river and to the town beyond – and up here you will catch the sun pretty much all of the day.

Wow factors galore, then, in a beautiful and stylishly-presented home which would be the envy of, not just Mister Cagney, but all your family and friends.

A secure parking place is included in the £649,000 asking price. Interested parties should contact Savills, on 01904 617820.
