The kitchen has ample storage cupboards and the two double bedrooms, both with wardrobes are ideal for overnight guests or double up as a study. Outside, the communal gardens are a delight and provide the ideal spot to catch up with other residents for a chat. And for convenience, there is your own parking space.
