Description

"I'm not your average flat - I'm the kind that makes life feel easy."

Tucked inside a calm, private block of just six, I'm modern, light and perfectly laid out. Step through the door and you'll find open space, clean design and a layout that simply works.

My open-plan kitchen, dining and living area looks out across Colonial gardens, giving you green views and morning light. The kitchen opens onto a full balcony - ideal for coffee, conversation or a breath of fresh air. The living area has its own Juliet balcony, bringing the outdoors in. Integrated appliances and soft neutral finishes keep things seamless and stylish.

My master bedroom with en-suite is designed for rest - a generous double finished in warm tones and complete with a sleek shower room.
Bedroom 2 is flexible - a guest room, office or extra space that feels bright and comfortable.
My main bathroom keeps things fresh and modern with a full-size bath, overhead shower and crisp tiled finish.

You'll find smart touches everywhere: a bright hallway with a utility closet that hides your appliances and still leaves space for coats and shoes, plus an intercom system for easy access and peace of mind. Outside, I've got two private parking spaces, secure entry, and neighbours who value peace and privacy.

I've been home to professional tenants working with Sizewell C, currently on a rolling tenancy until May 2026. I deliver a proven 11-12 % yield, with corporate-let demand that's strong, reliable and long-term.

Furnishings are available by separate negotiation - so whether you want a ready-made rental or a place to call home, I'm ready.

Smart. Spacious. Sorted.

For investors, I'm a proven performer - secure, managed, and already earning. Book your viewing and see why I'm the easy choice for steady, stress-free returns.
