Upon entering the building via a secure entry system there is a staircase and lift leading up to the apartment. The entrance hall is spacious with two built in cupboards providing storage and there is an open plan kitchen/living area with a large windows/doors leading out to the spacious balcony that wraps around the living area allowing the space to extend outside, with a north/east aspect. The kitchen is sleek and modern, fitted with a range of wall and base units and there is an integrated fridge freezer, and dishwasher, washing machine, as well as an electric hob and double oven.
There are two double bedrooms, the principal bedroom boasts built ensuite shower room, built in wardrobes and floor to ceiling glazing, the second bedroom is a good size double. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite to include, w.c., basin and bath with overhead shower.
