The principal reception space is an impressive lounge/dining room, enhanced by a large bay window which frames the attractive outlook and allows an abundance of natural light to flood the room. The contemporary fitted kitchen is finished to an excellent standard and incorporates a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including an electric induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, creating a practical and stylish environment for both everyday use and entertaining. There are two generous double bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation and flexibility for a variety of purchasers. 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.
