About this property

  • One bedroom apartment

  • First floor

  • Lease over 170 years

  • Chain free

  • Modern kitchen

  • New bathroom

  • Generous storage throughout

Located on the first floor of a popular modern two storey block, the apartment is accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance. On entering the apartment you’re immediately struck by the sense of space and light and the stylish modern décor. Honey-hued wood laminate flooring and fresh painted walls create a modern feel and relaxed ambience.

The main living space is a large lounge/dining room that’s flooded with natural light thanks to wide east-facing picture windows that span the width of the room and a second south-facing window. Both have leafy views. Measuring 14’62 by 10’6”, the room has plenty of space for a sofa, armchairs, and a large dining table.

The separate kitchen also has a contemporary vibe, with Shaker-style forest green fitted wall and floor cabinets, a metro-tiled splashback, wood worktop, ceramic Butler sink, and brushed brass ironmongery. A window above the sink provides views and ventilation.

The delightful double bedroom has a large picture window and is carpeted. Measuring 14’6” by 8’4” it easily accommodates a kingsize bed and a double wardrobe.

The bathroom, which has great natural light and ventilation from a large frosted high-level window, has a bath with a shower, glass screen, and totally tiled wall surround. The modern washbasin sits on a fitted cabinet and there’s a freestanding WC.

This thoroughly modern apartment forms part of a popular development that’s set in attractive landscaped communal gardens and has off-street parking spaces for residents.

Well-maintained by the current owner, a new boiler was installed in 2022 and the glass will be done within the next month.
