The fitted kitchen is finished to a high standard and incorporates a range of quality integrated appliances including an induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, creating a practical and stylish space for modern living.

There are two generous double bedrooms, both served by luxurious bathroom facilities, finished with quality fixtures and fittings to complement the overall specification of the apartment and the addition of a seperate WC.

A particular feature of Apartment 1 is the exceptional outside space. To the side is a private enclosed courtyard providing a sheltered seating area, whilst to the rear there is a further private enclosed garden designed for ease of maintenance with a combination of patio and artificial lawn. This creates an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the privacy of your own garden.

Further benefits include UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a video entry system, useful storage and floor coverings throughout, allowing purchasers to move straight in and enjoy their new home from day one.

Apartment 1 offers a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious garden level residence with the added benefit of substantial private outdoor space, making it particularly appealing to downsizers, professionals, pet owners or those seeking apartment living without compromising on a garden.

Externally, the development provides allocated parking for one vehicle with electric charging point, cycle storage and a dedicated recycling area. The main villa stands proud lime washed and architecturally impressive - housing a small number of spacious apartments within an exclusive setting.
