The Property

Accommodation

Inside

The communal front door opens into the main hall where there are stairs to the other floors, door to the car park and door to the apartment itself. The apartment's front door opens into a generously sized entrance hall with a double sized cloaks cupboard, which keeps all your coats, boots and shoes tidy. Doors lead off to all the accommodation.

The large open plan living space enjoys an outlook to the front - overlooking the shrubbery and has plenty of room for settees, armchairs and a dining table and chairs. It is a great social space for spending time with family and friends and as the kitchen area is open this allows the chef to be connected to their guests. The kitchen overlooks the carpark to the rear and is fitted with floor cupboards with drawers, work surfaces with a tiled splash back and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is scope, as and when, to update the kitchen units to your own style. There is space for a fridge/freezer and slot in cooker plus plumbing for a washing machine. For appearance and practicality, the floor is laid in a ceramic tile effect vinyl.

There are two double bedrooms - one overlooking the shrubbery to the front, whilst the other looks out over the parking to the rear. The bathroom is fitted with a pedestal wash hand basin, WC and a bath with a mixer tap and shower attachment. There is also the airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. The floor is laid in a practical and attractive ceramic tile effect vinyl.

Outside
