The open plan kitchen and living area creates a welcoming central hub, while the two similarly sized bedrooms offer flexibility to suit different lifestyles. One bedroom enjoys a sunny northern aspect and is finished with carpet, while the other features hybrid flooring and a double wardrobe with mirrored doors. Whether you prioritise natural light or additional storage, either room could comfortably serve as the main bedroom. Freshly painted throughout, the home also features brand new curtains to the living area and both bedrooms, along with a stylish new bathroom vanity and sink, giving the interiors a fresh, contemporary feel.<br><br>A standout feature rarely found in older apartment complexes is the comprehensive double-glazing installed to every window in 2014. Not only does this significantly improve year-round comfort by reducing heat loss, outside noise and drafts, it also contributes to the apartment's impressive 6-star energy rating. Further updates include hybrid flooring throughout the kitchen, living area and one bedroom, carpet replaced in the second bedroom in 2020, and a new oven and cooktop installed the same year. The kitchen also provides a dedicated space for a washing machine or washer/dryer next to the installed dishwasher, allowing you to enjoy the convenience of internal laundry facilities without relying on the communal laundry.
