Beneath a beautifully detailed arched porch is a large original front door with stained glass windows offering direct access into the entrance hall of the flat!

To the right is the main reception room where there is an immediate feeling of space from the high ceiling and natural light drawn in by the square bay sash windows at the front of the house overlooking the front garden. This room has been nicely decorated with dark stained engineered wood flooring. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and a sofas.

The second bedroom is located on the opposite side of the hallway, also at the front of the house. It has carpeted flooring and a large sash window looking out over the front garden towards the street.

The bathroom is conveniently located at the rear of the property in the middle of the flat. Neatly decorated with black tiled floors and white metro tiled walls around the bathtub and the sink. There is a shower attachment above the bath and is accompanied by a contemporary toilet and wash hand basin with a vanity unit beneath. A frosted window offers natural light and ventilation.

The kitchen is also located at the rear of the flat and has direct access to the garden. It has been stylishly fitted with grey wood effect flooring, fashionable matte black cupboard units providing plenty of storage on both sides of the room. There are integrated appliances with a grey worktop housing the sink on one side of the room and the hob on the other. More metro tiles are sued as the splashback to mirror the adjacent bathroom. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs just beneath the window overlooking the garden. There is also a patio door that offers direct access to the garden.

The garden is the star of the show as it’s the whole width of the house 28ft (8.53m) and is 67ft long, with side return access from the front.
