Available to purchase straight away with no onward chain. Access is via a well-kept communal ground floor entrance with secure telephone entry system, while lifts serve all levels for ease and convenience. The apartment offers generous proportions throughout and presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to modernise and add their own stamp, with the pricing reflecting the cosmetic updating now required. Internally, the accommodation is well laid out and includes a large welcoming hallway with useful storage cupboards, a spacious lounge/dining room, and a modern kitchen/breakfast room enjoying a lovely outlook. There are two double bedrooms, both with fitted storage, with the principal bedroom being a generous double.
