The bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom which comprises a bath with shower over and a pedestal wash hand basin. There is then a separate WC.

The flat does come with a resident parking space, within a car parking area at the rear.

Another feature of the flat is the very competitive service charges and ground rent. The combined figure for both is £125 per year, with the home have 80 years remaining on the current lease.
