The view can be appreciated from the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout which provide incredible light, in addition to the generously sized balcony situated on the southwest-facing side of the apartment. - 2 external hallway storage cupboards in addition to the ample internal apartment storage. - Communal landing shared by only one other apartment. - Wood effect Karndean flooring in all living areas with underfloor heating providing a warm and cosy feel throughout. - Smooth-painted walls and ceilings. Sellers position: There is no forward chain with this property.
