Located within a secure, purpose-built gated development, the property includes a lift for easy access and boasts a private south-facing balcony that can be accessed from both the living room and the main bedroom. The layout includes an open-plan living area that provides ample space for relaxation and entertaining. The larger bedroom comes equipped with an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, while a separate family bathroom adds convenience for guests. Although the apartment has been well-maintained over the years, it presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and personal customization to suit modern tastes.

Tenure is shared freehold with 992 years remaining; there is an annual service charge of £2,400 with no ground rent payable.
