This ground floor apartment has the advantage of being on the southerly side of the development and is exceptionally well presented throughout. The naturally light interior includes a spacious living room with the focal point of a period style fireplace and a French window which opens onto the paved rear terrace. Double opening small pane doors lead to the adjoining fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and views across the delightful communal gardens. The superbly proportioned bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and also overlooks the manicured lawns. Completing the accommodation there is a refitted contemporary tiled shower room/WC.
