The property opens up into a lovely open plan space with distinct dining and kitchen areas providing space in which to cook, dine and relax after a day on the fells or a hard week at work.

Newly fitted modern three piece shower room comprising a walk in shower with glazed screen, wash hand basin and WC. Also having a heated towel rail. The apartment also has a mezzanine currently used as a further lounge area which would readily double as an occasional bedroom.
