The modern kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted units with integrated appliances including; a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric oven and induction hob with extractor over while leaving room for a freestanding washing machine/dryer.

The city's mainline station can be easily reached along the guided busway cycleway without having to mix with car traffic at all.
