The Property

Set on the ground floor of a small development containing just six apartments, this beautifully presented two-bedroom home offers generous rooms, allocated parking and an excellent position close to Williamson Park. It is an inviting option for buyers who value manageable living space without compromising on comfort.

The communal entrance serves just one other apartment and also provides direct access to the rear parking area. Inside, the private hallway creates a practical central point, with an intercom system and easy access to each room.

The lounge and dining room provides ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. A wide bay window draws natural light into the room and creates an attractive spot for a dining table, reading chair or workspace. It is a comfortable, versatile living area suited to quiet evenings as readily as meals with friends.

The separate kitchen is fitted with sleek white gloss cabinetry and complementary work surfaces. Integrated cooking appliances include a Bosch electric oven and four-zone hob, while there is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer. Underfloor heating beneath the tiled floor adds welcome everyday comfort.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, making the layout equally suited to a couple, sharers or somebody looking for a dedicated guest room and home office. The principal bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes. A neatly presented bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a bath and thermostatic shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Outside, the maintained communal grounds give the development a settled, residential feel. The apartment has allocated parking space number 23, alongside visitor parking and a shared bin store.
