On the same side of the apartment the main bedroom also looks towards the beach behind which is the bathroom that is organised with a shower over the bath supplied with hot water from a pressurised water system. The second bedroom lies to the rear of the apartment and is a good sized double with a built-in double wardrobe, while within the hallway there are three good sized built-in storage cupboards .The kitchen has in recent years been refurbished with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with a breakfast bar to one side and space for an electric cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine and a dishwasher.
