Here is what the owner said:

We bought the property in July 2021. We love the area around the property, it's a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. The private garden is wonderful and somewhat unusual for flats like this and we have really enjoyed having access to that outside space. Since moving in, we have replaced the front door and the window next to it for a much more secure and double glazed one, we have also upgraded and modernised all the rooms and installed a new bathroom.
