The layout includes a bright sitting/dining room open to a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a generous cellar adaptable as a home gym, office or hobby room. A private patio leads down to south-facing communal lawns and there is an allocated parking space.

Note the access and heating information: there are four steps to the patio and one step into the apartment, so it is not step-free. The listing includes conflicting heating notes (described both as gas central heating and electric storage heaters); buyers should confirm the installed heating type and service history. The block is in a conservation area and the building is of Victorian construction, which may mean maintenance of period fabric and stone walls.
