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.
