Grounds
Vernier Crescent is a purpose-built apartment development in Shenley End, arranged around a private residents' courtyard with communal parking and secure garaging. The buildings are of red brick construction beneath steeply pitched, hipped roofs, with stone-effect detailing and Juliet balconies.

The communal areas are well maintained, with established hedging, low-level planting and semi-mature trees softening the parking areas. The central courtyard includes fixed lamp-post lighting, while refuse storage is housed within a separate brick-built store beneath a hipped roof, accessed via double timber doors. The development is managed by Warwick Estates and enjoys an elevated outlook, with views towards Shenley Wood and the surrounding green spaces.

Garage
The garage is positioned within the residents' courtyard and is accessed via an automatic slatted timber up-and-over door. It has a separate fused electrical supply, lighting and a double power socket. A private allocated block-paved parking bay is situated directly in front.

Internal Communal Areas
The block serves just two apartments and is approached via a glazed communal entrance door with matching side panels and an intercom entry system. The internal communal areas are well maintained, with fitted carpeting, a recessed entrance mat and neutral wall finishes. A half-landing staircase with balustrading leads to the apartment, with generous landings, natural light from fixed glazing and wall-mounted dome lighting. Regular contract cleaning is arranged through the managing agents.
