EWS1 certification is available for this property - B1 Rating. We are now working with an independent panel of Fire Engineers to review any L&Q building inspections conducted by Tri Fire. Where the panel is not satisfied with the inspection and certificate awarded, we will instruct a new inspection of the building as soon as possible.

The front door of this unusual apartment opens into a hallway, which wraps around the open plan living area, giving a great option for sharers. The kitchen is fitted with beech wood effect wall and base units and a granite effect worktop and includes an integrated oven, hob, and extractor fan. The living area opens onto a larger than average south facing terrace giving room to relax, to dine, or for the children to play. Two well proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

This property benefits from a sinking fund. A sinking fund is a long-term savings plan that leaseholders contribute to every month through service charges. This is used to pay for major works that are required, such as replacing a roof.
