Inside you have an impressive hallway with those anticipated high ceilings and large proportion rooms you get from buildings such as this. To your right a door takes you into the spacious lounge/dining room. With a period marble fireplace taking centre stage and south facing large bay windows at the far end coupled with new deep pile carpets, this room cannot fail to impress. A door from the righthand side takes you into the first double bedroom, again featuring those sought after south facing elevated views over the communal gardens.

Back in the hallway you have a storage cupboard and then a door to the large master bedroom , which has large windows, a walk-in wardrobe and separate built in cupboard. The newly fitted bathroom is off the main hallway and features the most impressive selection of tiling and a well thought out bath/shower recess. Finally off round the corner in the hallway you come to the well proportioned eat-in kitchen. There is a range of worktops, storage cupboards and appliances whilst also having the room for a nice breakfast area with bar stools. Looking out of the window
