A room with a view is always an added bonus when you jet off on holiday.

But forget sunny beaches or beautiful countryside, because we think we might just have found the best view in Coventry.

Pretty much smack bang in the city centre, one flat offers some of the best - and certainly one of the most unique, views across the city.

And with two bedrooms, the inside isn't too bad either.

What's more - you could own that property.

The property is located on the 12th floor

Currently on the market courtesy of property agents Reeds Rains, the two bedroom flat is located high above Smithford Way, and you can take a look at what makes this one so great right here.

A home with a view

From the outside, the flat in Hillman House doesn't jump out as anything special, but there's a lot more than meets the eye here.

The inside is a fairly decent sized, comfortable living space.

Pictures don't hugely do this justice at the moment, in part due to a large pool table owned by the current occupier.

On the other hand, the living room is large enough for a pool table, which gives you an idea as to the size.

As well as the open plan living and dining area, the flat comes with a kitchen which has been described as "well fitted", two double bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom.

It is currently on the market

But of course, we're here for the view.

Located on the 12th floor of 13 (don't worry, there's a lift), this flat has views covering three directions - and one in particular is stunning.

Spires and domes

A northwestern view out across the city centre gives completely unobstructed views of the cathedral spires, which would make many a homeowner green with envy.

But just in front of them is the glass domed roof of West Orchards Shopping Centre - from an angle rarely seen.

You can see the Cathedral spires and the West Orchards dome

Due to its location, you can only really see the dome if you look up from inside the centre - which isn't nearly as impressive as looking down at it.

Further afield, huge cranes are currently visible, and love them or hate them, there will be impressive sights to see once construction is complete.

The other side of the property gives views across and down at the Belgrade Theatre, and the wider Belgrade Plaza complex.

When the water features are back up and running, it will make for a pleasant summer sight.

Everything you need to know

According to Reeds Rains, this property makes for an "excellent buy to let" opportunity, and is on the market for £169,950.

Anyone interested in this property is advised to get in touch with the estate agents, who have an office on Warwick Row in the city centre.
