The property


The flat is approached via its own entrance at the rear of the building and offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout.

Large windows draw in plenty of natural light, and overlook the front balcony. The modern kitchen includes contemporary units, excellent storage and attractive work surfaces, with integrated electric oven and hob.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, and benefit from fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom has direct access onto the front balcony.

In addition, there is a private garden area, separate from the building, which includes a useful shed. Private residents parking adds further practicality to this already impressive home.
