Occupying the lower-ground floor and opening directly onto its own private garden, the apartment combines the convenience and security of apartment living with the space, privacy and freedom more commonly associated with a house.

Generous, level and beautifully enclosed by mature planting, it offers an excellent degree of privacy together with a lawn, patio and decked terrace, providing a choice of areas in which to relax, entertain and enjoy time outdoors.
The garden also features a versatile summer house measuring approximately 91 sq ft (8.5 sq m). This valuable additional space would work equally well as a home office, creative studio, entertaining room, gym or peaceful garden retreat. The garden also benefits from private gated rear access.
To the front, the property has allocated parking within the secure gated grounds, together with access to well-maintained communal gardens. A lift within the building provides additional convenience and accessibility.
