The apartment is accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance hall, with both a lift and a staircase leading to the second floor. Alternative access is also available from the rear allocated parking area and through the communal gardens, adding further convenience. Occupying the top floor, the apartment’s private entrance is positioned at the end of the building, where the approach enjoys the added benefit of usable outside space and pleasant outlooks. Upon entering, a spacious reception hall provides a welcoming introduction to the accommodation, with a wall-mounted radiator, consumer unit and a generous built-in walk-in storage cupboard, complete with lighting, power and shelving.
Living Room, Diner & Balcony
A generously proportioned open-plan living room and dining area, enjoying an excellent level of natural light from a double glazed sash window overlooking the balcony, together with a further arched double glazed sash window positioned beside the balcony door. The room provides ample space for both comfortable seating and dining furniture, creating a bright and versatile reception space. From the living area, a double glazed door opens directly onto the private balcony, which forms a particularly attractive feature of the apartment. Well presented and finished with decking and a painted metal balustrade, the balcony provides a lovely outside seating area from which to enjoy the surrounding outlook, with partial sea views towards Lyme Bay.
Kitchen & Utility Space
The kitchen is fitted with a striking range of blue wall and base units, complemented by roll-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer is positioned beneath a double-glazed sash window, allowing natural light into the room. Integrated appliances include an oven with inset gas hob and extractor hood over, together with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The room is well proportioned and also offers space for a small dining table, making it suitable for use as an informal breakfast area. A separate utility room is located off the kitchen, providing additional practicality with a work surface on one wall, plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with further under-counter space suitable for a tumble dryer.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double room and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a corner shower cubicle with mains-fed shower, pedestal wash basin and low-level WC, with tiled walls and a wall-mounted heated towel rail. The second bedroom also provides generous double accommodation and includes built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors, offering useful storage while maintaining a good sense of space.
