Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall finished with soft cream walls and plush neutral carpeting which continues throughout much of the property, creating a bright and cohesive feel.
Immediately behind the front door is a practical airing cupboard housing the boiler and hot water tank whilst also offering useful minimal storage space.
The family bathroom is located just off the hallway and is finished with crisp white tiling, neutral décor and a modern white suite consisting of a W.C., pedestal hand basin and walk-in shower cubicle with glass screen.
A heated towel rail and mirrored wall cabinet complete the room, whilst the bright colour palette enhances the feeling of space and light.
Opposite the bathroom is bedroom two, a versatile room which would work perfectly as a single bedroom, guest room or home office.
The room enjoys sloping ceilings adding character and charm along with a window which allows natural light to flood the space.
