The apartment was built in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances. The lease has 108 years remaining and the property is sold leasehold; regular service charges and an annual ground rent apply, so factor ongoing costs into your budget. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the accommodation is compact at about 614 sq ft.
