The property includes two genuine double bedrooms, both large enough to comfortably fit a double bed and additional furniture. The shower room has been updated with a modern enclosed shower, a wash basin set into a useful vanity unit, and a heated towel rail.

The WC is located in a separate room next door, making it practical for shared living.

The kitchen has a good amount of cupboard and worktop space, with room for appliances, and its window overlooks the communal garden area, providing a pleasant view while cooking or washing up.

The living and dining room is generously sized and benefits from multiple aspects, allowing natural light to enter from more than one side of the room. This creates a bright, comfortable space for relaxing or entertaining.

Outside, residents can enjoy the well-kept communal garden areas, which offer green space without the upkeep of a private garden. There is a shared parking area for residents and visitors; while spaces are not allocated, parking is generally available.
