The flat is accessed via a well-kept, secure shared entrance with both lift and stair access, as well as a residents' communal area. The property has been modernised and extended to form a light filled home with generous and versatile accommodation over two levels. 

A welcoming hallway with large storage cupboard leads to a bright bay windowed living/dining room with views over the communal garden grounds. The room is open plan to the kitchen, which has been fitted with modern wall and base cabinets, an oven, hob, cooker hood, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, along with a built-in pantry which allows for a washing machine. A mezzanine level accessed from the living room offers a versatile space for socialising or as an occasional room for guests and allows for various furniture configurations. 

Completing the accommodation is a double bedroom and stylish, modern shower room with walk-in shower. The property further benefits from double glazing and electric heating.
