Why you’ll like it:
You approach this smart development up a pathway scented with lavender, where your entrance is clearly numbered to the rear of the building. Glazed double doors open to the communal lobby, where the attractive Terrazzo floor leads you to the lift or the stairs rising through the floors. Once inside, it is clear this is a spacious and welcoming apartment with a long corridor running its depth with deep storage cupboards for coats, shoes and household items.
The entire apartment has been well-maintained, so it is ready to move straight into, or let out immediately with ease to start seeing a return on your investment. The living room is particularly spacious with a delightful outlook of mature trees from a box bay window offering the perfect spot for a table and chairs, so you can gaze out at the wildlife in the trees as you dine. Elsewhere, there is ample room for large and comfortable furnishings for cosy evenings in, and the double glazing is incredibly efficient, so it is very peaceful in here.

The kitchen is well appointed with streamlined cabinets in dark navy paired with marbled worktops and integrated appliances to include a fridge freezer, fan oven and a gas hob, and a washing machine. The sink has been thoughtfully placed below the window, allowing lovely views to wash up to.

Both bedrooms are excellent doubles with large, energy efficient windows framing green views while allowing for lots of natural light to enter. Both rooms benefit from carpet underfoot and built-in wardrobes with a range of clothes and shoe storage solutions. Across the hall, the contemporary shower room has also been modernised with a roomy cubicle, large scale floor tiles and plenty of storage below the basin for toiletries.
