An entryphone system provides security for the entrance and there is residents permit parking to the front of the building.

As well as large rooms with high ceilings, the property also has excellent storage, and there is a boxroom which could be adapted to suit your needs. The spacious reception hall with its traditional plaster work leads to all the rooms in the flat. The living room is an elegant space with two large windows, while the kitchen and dining area is bright and airy.
