Dickens Heath is a popular development, know for the convenience of its location, the many bars, restaurants and convenience stores on hand.

The development provides a landscaped, pleasant and peaceful outdoor garden area, an enjoyable space to enjoy on the warm sunny days. There's also secure caged storage on the floor below the apartment for items you need to store away from the apartment.

LIVING AREAS

Welcome inside. The hallway is spacious and neutrally presented with white walls and contrasting laminate flooring. Plenty of room for hanging coats and storing shoes.

Benefiting from an airing cupboard which provides additional storage and is home to the electric hot water cylinder. There’s also a number of ceiling spotlights, fire smoke alarm, and benefiting from a large floor to ceiling double glazed opening window to allow plenty of natural light flowing through. In addition, the communication telephone to the communal entrance hall.

A key feature to this apartment is the large lounge/dining/kitchen area. A fabulous space, loads of room and a great entertaining space as well as room to spread out. A unique feature to this side of the development is the view, looking into the trees and grasslands opposite, which does provide a peaceful view and something many of the other apartments don't benefit from.

This room has the benefit of twin floor to ceiling double glazed windows that open. The room is spacious and benefits from a modern cream kitchen, having a number of integrated appliances to include a fridge/freezer, a single oven with grill and electric hob with stainless steel extractor hood over, as well as a 1 and a 1/2 sink and drainer and in-built dishwasher. There’s also plumbing here for your washing machine as well as a number of plugs around the work-surfaces for the small appliances.

The rest of the room easily accommodates a family sized dining table, multiple sofas and media centre, which makes this room perfect for entertaining when having friends round, or keeping on the young one whilst preparing meals.
