A secure shared stairwell leads to the flat’s first-floor front door, where a hallway welcomes you inside and accommodates a handy built-in storage cupboard. On your right, you step into a wonderfully bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. Fitted to the rear of the room is a selection of wall and base cabinets and worktops, with space provided for freestanding appliances and a built-in cupboard offering further handy hidden storage. A southerly-facing window frames rear garden views and floods the room with sunny natural light throughout the day. The living area boasts a generous, flexible floorspace for a number of lounge and dining furniture configurations. A large, walk-in cupboard and a wall-mounted gas fire also feature.
Across the hall, a spacious double bedroom awaits. Sharing the reception area’s sunny aspect and garden views, the bedroom offers plenty of space for freestanding furniture and retains its original cornicing detail. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower, a pedestal basin, and a toilet. The flat is heated by a gas central heating system.
Externally, a shared garden can be found to the rear, which convenient unrestricted on-street parking is available on Albion Road.
