This first floor apartment offers a well proportioned entrance hall which is accessed via the communal entrance and lift. Within the hall there is a storage cupboard and a very useful walk in airing cupboard/storage area. The living room offers space for a table and chairs and leads onto the riverside balcony. Due to this apartment being at the end of the development it gains two additional windows in the living room which create a lighter living space in comparison to the central apartments. The kitchen is also located at the rear, therefore enjoying views over the river. There is a double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, and a bathroom. The balcony offers riverside views and faces a southerly direction, there is enough space to offer seating and a small table.
The gardens are communal and offer a riverside walk, parking can be found for visitors and there is also the opportunity to rent parking for £250 per annum.
