Set within a quiet and well-kept residential development, this home provides a well-balanced and practical layout that makes excellent use of its space. The central hallway runs the full length of the apartment and gives easy access to each room, creating a simple flow that suits day-to-day life.

A large window and glazed door bring in plenty of light and open out onto a private balcony that overlooks a peaceful communal green. It’s a great spot for a morning coffee, a read in the sun, or just enjoying a bit of quiet outdoor space.

The kitchen has been updated in a modern, shaker style with grey units, wood-effect worktops, metro-tiled splashbacks, and a classic ceramic butler sink. The layout provides great functionality with lots of storage, preparation space, and room for essential appliances. A wide window runs almost the full length of the kitchen, helping to flood the room with light and offering a pleasant street view.

The apartment includes three bedrooms in total, offering flexibility depending on your lifestyle. The main bedroom is spacious enough for a king-sized bed, bedside tables and wardrobes, while the second bedroom, currently set up as a nursery, would work well for a child, guest room or study. The third bedroom is ideal as a home office or occasional bedroom, depending on your needs, and currently serves as a calm workspace. All rooms benefit from plenty of natural light and are finished in neutral tones, ready for a new owner to add their personal touch.

The bathroom is bright and fully tiled, fitted with a full-sized bath with shower over, pedestal sink, wall mirror, and frosted window for light and privacy. Next door is a separate WC, which helps with busy mornings or when guests are visiting. The hallway includes a built-in storage cupboard, ideal for coats, shoes or general household essentials.

One of the real advantages of this property is the inclusion of a garage, offering secure parking or additional storage. There is also resident parking within the development. The apartment is part of a well-managed building and is being sold with a lease in excess of 900 years, giving excellent long-term peace of mind and investment security. With everything on one level, it’s also a strong choice for those seeking a future-proof home with minimal stairs or access concerns.
