There is space for a cooker, washing machine and a fridge freezer. Open to the kitchen, is the dining area which is a good size and also has a rear facing window. There are two very generous double bedrooms which both feature original fireplaces, one positioned to the front with a window overlooking Springwood Terrace and the other to the rear with a window overlooking the pretty rear garden and views beyond. The family bathroom is situated to the front and comprises a WC, wash hand basin and a panelled bath with shower over. Completing the accommodation, the flat benefits from having a large attic room which is accessed via a spiral staircase and is an excellent versatile space currently used as a third bedroom. This is a bright space, with three Velux roof windows flooding the room with lots of natural light. There are built in storage cupboards and a door leads into a large loft storage space. Outside; there is a shared pathway to the front and side which leads to the private rear garden.
