The property has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, featuring engineered oak flooring and a fresh, contemporary décor. The light-filled porch leads into a good-sized sitting room, where large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and offer views of the front terrace and communal lawn area. There is scope to install a wood burner to create a cosy focal point.

Double doors connect the sitting room to a generous kitchen and dining room, designed for modern living. Sliding doors open directly from the dining area to the rear courtyard, while the stylish kitchen has been recently updated and includes a breakfast bar, induction hob, double oven, integrated dishwasher, built-in fridge/freezer, and a walk-in pantry tucked neatly beneath the stairs.
