The property

Boasting a fantastic location in Hillside, within strolling distance from the heart of the city and with a wealth of amenities on its doorstep, this traditional one-bedroom ground-floor flat would be perfect for first-time buyers, city professionals, downsizers and rental investors alike.

Next door, the kitchen is fitted with a selection of wood-styled cabinets accompanied by worktops, splashback tiling and appliances. The flat accommodates a spacious double bedroom which incorporates recessed shelving and cornicing. An airy bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a shower-over-bath with a glazed screen, a pedestal basin, a toilet and a mirrored, wall-mounted vanity cabinet. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round. Externally, the flat enjoys access to a walled, well-kept shared garden to the rear and controlled on-street parking falls under Zone N1.
