There is amp0le room for a range of lounge and dining furniture with the room able to be configured in a variety of ways. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace which does not accommodate an actual fire but could be used for decorative purposes to stand candles or flowers or even an electric burner.

There is ample space for a cooker, plumbing for a washing machine and under counter space for a fridge.

The bedroom is again a well-proportioned double room which benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes, drawers and overhead storage cupboards. Like the lounge and kitchen another large window offers lots of natural light which is a real feature of the apartment.

Finally, there is a shower room which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. The shower room has a tiled floor and electric heated towel rail.

The block of apartments is set in pleasant communal grounds with a large lawn area to the front which means the block is set well back from the road and is a great space to relax in the warmer summer months. There is a car park that offers resident parking and the apartment also comes with its own garage situated toward the rear of the flats and could be used for parking but also provides useful additional storage space.

This is a delightful flat that is worthy of serious consideration by anyone looking for this type of property. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
