On your right, you step into the very heart of this city home: the open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. The living area is stylishly-presented with neutral décor, an on-trend feature wall, and fitted carpeting, and offers ample room for configurations of both lounge and dining furniture. South-facing French windows (ornamented by a Juliet balcony) allow wonderful sunshine to flood the space throughout the day. In the adjoining kitchen, sleek, contemporary black cabinets are framed by contrasting white worktops and dark tile-effect flooring, and a full selection of appliances is neatly integrated: namely a fridge/freezer, an oven, a hob (with a splashback panel), a dishwasher, and a washer/dryer. From here, a door opens onto a private, south-facing balcony with room for outdoor dining furniture – the perfect space to enjoy an alfresco drink or meal during the warmer months! The apartment’s two double bedrooms echo the immaculate presentation of the living area with the same appealing, modern décor and fitted carpets, and both are accompanied by built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom also enjoys French windows with an ornamental balcony, as well as an en-suite shower room with a double shower enclosure and a WC-suite. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a wall-mounted basin, and a WC. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. The property also benefits from a built-in superfast fibre optic internet connection. Externally, the development is set within landscaped shared gardens.
