You can also have a small two person breakfast table and chairs to maximise space or you can fit a larger easily foldable dining table when guest come round. You have a carpeted hallway which runs right through the flat and can create a feeling of even more space + light especially with hung mirrors.

The Kitchen and Lounge can be used as separate areas for working from home and the flat is well insulated from noise from other neighbouring flats. It's a cool not overly hot or cold flat which is great in middle of winter and middle of summer.

Asda supermarket, Winton Recreational Park & Meyrick Park (for pleasant walks, fitness, exercise and just chilling out in the fresh air) all on your doorstep.

A very safe and friendly neighbourhood and there's always people passing through this area into later hours of the night and this area is central to many places but yet there's not an unexpected amount of noise pollution.
