The ground-floor apartment comes with allocated parking and is presented in excellent condition throughout. It features neutral décor, well-maintained carpeting, and a modern fitted kitchen complete with appliances. The spacious living area easily accommodates both lounge and dining furniture, while the two generous double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes for added convenience. The contemporary bathroom offers a shower-over-bath setup, perfect for modern living.

All essential safety certificates are already in place, including the EPC, eicr, and Gas Safety Certificate, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind for any investor.

This property represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-managed, income-generating asset in a highly regarded development with excellent ongoing rental potential.
