Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, comfortably accommodating a double bed alongside wardrobes and additional furniture, whilst the second bedroom offers fantastic flexibility as a guest bedroom, child's room or home office for those working remotely.
Completing the accommodation is a contemporary family bathroom, finished in neutral tones and fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin, WC and heated towel rail, creating a bright and stylish space.
Outside, residents benefit from attractive communal gardens providing a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy during the warmer months. The apartment also benefits from an allocated parking space, together with additional visitor parking for guests.
