Off-street parking is available and the flat benefits from double glazing and modern fitted kitchen appliances, making day-to-day living straightforward.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with about 108 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £3,471.60 (paid half-yearly) plus ground rent around £385 per year.
