Internally the layout is traditional and compact (approximately 568 sq ft) with good built-in storage and a fitted kitchen. Heating is via electric storage heaters; this is efficient for some buyers but can be more expensive than gas central heating during colder months.

This home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance, central apartment with outdoor space and gated parking. Be aware of the apartment’s modest overall size and the reliance on electric storage heating when comparing running costs or planning any upgrades.
