A super development opportunity, this one-bedroom, corner aspect first-floor flat, forms part of a traditional stone-built tenement. The hall gives access to all the main rooms and features a secured entry handset, cornice work, and pendant light fittings. A good-sized lounge takes advantage of the corner aspect with dual-aspect natural light, an open-shelved press cupboard, and cornice work. A bright, flexible kitchen has been partitioned with a simple stud wall to create the box/store room, offering easy potential to create a spacious dining/kitchen, or a single public room for a two-bedroom configuration - subject to planning. A spacious double bedroom currently has fitted units along the rear wall and includes cornice work and a pendant light fitting. The bright bathroom has a modern suite, with a shower head fitting for the bath, and a tiled splash wall.
