About
Property Walkthrough Communal Entrance & Access The property is accessed via a communal entrance hallway on the ground floor, with staircase rising to the first floor where the private entrance door to the apartment is positioned.
The private entrance area benefits from a rear aspect double glazed window and staircase rising to the top floor accommodation.
Top Floor Landing The top floor landing offers a surprisingly spacious and useful area, enhanced by a rear aspect Velux window allowing for natural light.
Further features include thermostat control, fuse board location, and access through to the bedroom and main living accommodation.
Please note there are areas of reduced head height within parts of the top floor accommodation due to the characterful roofline design.
Living Area / Kitchen The open plan living area is a bright and characterful space, benefiting from multiple Velux windows to the front and side aspects, helping to create a naturally light environment throughout the day.
The room features smooth ceilings, engineered laminate flooring, two radiators, and useful eaves storage cupboard housing the gas boiler.
The kitchen area is fitted with ample work surfaces incorporating units and drawers to the base level, together with integrated electric hob and oven, sink unit, part tiled surrounds, and space and plumbing for additional white goods.
A rear aspect Velux window positioned above the kitchen area further enhances the natural light within the room.
Bedroom The bedroom is a well proportioned and spacious room benefiting from smooth ceiling, fitted carpet, radiator, rear aspect Velux window, and built-in double wardrobes providing excellent storage.
A door leads directly through into the en-suite bathroom. Please note there are areas of reduced head height within the bedroom due to the sloped ceiling design.
En-Suite Bathroom The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising enclosed bath with mixer shower over, wash hand basin, and low level WC.
Additional features include tiled walls, tiled flooring, heated towel radiator, smooth ceiling, and side aspect Velux window.
Again, there are areas of reduced head height within the bathroom due to the roofline.
Outside & Parking Externally, the development benefits from communal facilities including residents parking, communal bin storage, and a useful cycle store area.
