Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a bright and well-considered entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the apartment. The space is finished with luxury vinyl flooring with a wood-effect and recessed spotlights, creating a clean and modern feel, while an intercom system and discreet utility cupboard add practical touches.

From here, doors lead seamlessly to all rooms, giving the home a natural flow and sense of space.

The open plan kitchen and living area forms the heart of the home and is where the design choices really shine. Finished in a neutral palette and paired with a cool, almost industrial edge, the space feels contemporary, minimalist and thoughtfully styled without being stark. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units alongside integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer, all sitting neatly within clean-lined work surfaces.

There is ample room for both dining and relaxing, and a large double glazed patio door floods the room with natural light while opening directly out onto the balcony.

The balcony itself is a real standout feature, offering excellent, uninterrupted views over the river. The current vendor has thoughtfully added seating, creating a space that is perfect for enjoying warmer days, watching the water, or simply relaxing outdoors with a coffee or a glass of wine.

It’s an extension of the living space rather than just an outdoor add-on, and one that truly elevates the lifestyle on offer.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and continue the calm, modern theme. Bedroom one benefits from a side-facing window, an integrated wardrobe, and access to a sleek en-suite shower room finished with tiled flooring, spotlights and contemporary fittings.

Bedroom two enjoys direct access to the balcony via double glazed patio doors, making it ideal as a guest room, home office, or second sleeping space with a view.

Completing the accommodation is the main bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, glass screen, and modern suite, all finished with tiled flooring and subtle spot lighting. Throughout the apartment, clean finishes and carefully chosen details come together to create a home that feels stylish yet comfortable, minimal yet full of character, and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of its river-facing setting.
