Accessed via a secure communal entrance with lift access to all floors, the apartment opens into a welcoming reception hallway leading to spacious and well-balanced accommodation. A particular feature of the property is the impressive lounge/dining room, enhanced by Victorian-style high ceilings and a large bay window which floods the room with natural light whilst enjoying pleasant open views across the town. The adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units and integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, creating a practical and stylish environment for modern living. There are two generous double bedrooms, both offering comfortable and versatile accommodation. The apartment is served by a luxurious four-piece bathroom/WC incorporating both a bath and separate shower enclosure, together with a separate cloakroom/WC, providing additional convenience for residents and guests alike. Further benefits include lift access, UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a video entry system, useful storage cupboards and floor coverings throughout, allowing purchasers to move straight in and enjoy their new home from day one. Apartment 3 combines the character and proportions associated with a period villa with the convenience and efficiency of modern apartment living, making it an attractive proposition for downsizers, professionals, second-home purchasers and those seeking a low maintenance coastal residence.
