The Approach

The property is accessed via a well-maintained communal hall, complete with individual post boxes for each apartment. An inner hall, with a convenient cupboard housing the consumer unit, leads to a stairway rising to the second floor. This is where the private entrance to the apartment is located. Upon entering, the inner hallway features a wall-mounted thermostat control, central heating radiator, a high-level cupboard accommodating the gas meter, and a built-in airing cupboard. One of the property’s most notable assets is its extensive loft space, accessible via a pull-down ladder and fitted with lighting controlled from the hallway's airing cupboard. The loft offers substantial storage capacity and houses the apartment’s gas boiler.

Living Room & Balcony

The generously proportioned living room is enhanced by a large double-glazed window and door, opening directly onto the private balcony. There is ample space to accommodate a small dining table, creating a versatile layout. Additional features include a central heating radiator, television point, and an internet point. The balcony itself is of notable size, finished with durable tiling and enclosed by a combination of wall and glass panels. This attractive outdoor space provides an ideal setting in which to relax, offering pleasant views over the surrounding area and benefitting from direct sunlight from midday onwards.

Kitchen

The kitchen is appointed with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units, incorporating drawers and cupboards, complemented by roll-edge work surfaces. A one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the balcony. Integrated appliances include a Neff electric oven and a Neff electric hob set into the countertop, complete with an extractor hood above. There is provision for an integrated fridge/freezer, as well as under-counter space for a slimline dishwasher and washing machine. An over-door storage cupboard provides additional practicality.

Bedrooms & Shower Room

The apartment offers two double bedrooms, each positioned to the rear of the property and benefiting from double-glazed windows and central heating radiators. The principal bedroom further includes built-in wardrobes with hanging rail and shelving, together with an overhead storage cupboard. Completing the internal accommodation is a generously sized, modern shower room. This features a large corner shower cubicle with aquaboard wall panelling and a glass enclosure. It incorporates an electric shower with in-cubicle controls and the main unit is housed within the loft space. A fitted vanity unit provides an excellent range of drawers and cupboards, topped with a wash basin and ample countertop space. Additional amenities include a WC, heated towel rail, tiled flooring, part-tiled walls, and a wall-mounted extractor fan.
