The Approach

Upon arrival, an obscured double-glazed entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway, recently redecorated with fresh white walls and newly fitted carpets. The hall offers excellent practicality with a built-in storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder, as well as a further cupboard with fitted shelving. Additional comfort is provided by a wall-mounted electric radiator.

Bedrooms

The apartment offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying natural light through double-glazed windows with radiators beneath. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, presented with fresh white décor and newly laid carpeting, easily accommodating a full range of furnishings. The second bedroom, only marginally smaller, is also a comfortable double, finished to the same high standard in neutral tones and new carpets.

Shower Room & Cloakroom

The property benefits from a newly installed contemporary shower room comprising a generous double walk-in enclosure with tiled wall surround, rainfall shower head and additional handheld attachment. A sleek vanity unit with integrated wash basin provides storage space and incorporates a concealed cistern WC. This is all positioned beneath an obscured double-glazed window. A wall-mounted heated towel rail completes the room.

In addition, the apartment features a newly fitted cloakroom. This includes a modern vanity unit with wash basin and cupboard storage beneath, together with a low-level WC. An obscured double-glazed window and a floating display shelf above the WC add both practicality and style.

Kitchen

The property boasts a newly installed kitchen, thoughtfully designed with dove grey cabinetry. It is complemented by a square-edged wooden work surface and contrasting tiled splashback. A one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with drainer is positioned beneath a side-aspect double glazed window, drawing in natural light. Practical provisions include under-counter space and plumbing for a washing machine, alongside room for a freestanding fridge/freezer. The kitchen also benefits from an integrated eye-level oven and a sleek countertop hob.

Garage

The property further benefits from a dedicated garage, situated within a block of terraced garages to the rear of Duncan House. Equipped with an up-and-over door, the garage provides both convenient parking facilities and useful additional storage space.

OUTSIDE

The property benefits from access to attractively landscaped communal gardens, planted with mature trees, magnolias, and palm clusters. A seating area is positioned to the front of the building, offering a peaceful setting for outdoor relaxation and socialising, enhanced by the surrounding established shrubs that provide privacy. Ample visitor parking is available via driveways on either side of the building, leading to multiple bays and the garage at the rear, ensuring convenient access.
