The sittingroom has a marble fireplace with electric fire and a door to the hall.

Integrated fittings include two fridges, two freezers a Neff oven, hob and microwave. Lit by two Velux windows it also has a large gable window.

The hall and landing is designed to give privacy to the bedrooms and more of the feeling of a house than an apartment.

The first corridor is short with a tiled family bathroom with large mirrors. A large square bedroom has an en suite shower room and built-in presses. The second corridor leads to two roomy bedrooms; the main one has two wide steps to double doors onto a balcony. The third bedroom is a fine square room with extensive storage. Entrance to the apartments is secure and there is a lift to all floors; the outside is paved and planted and there are two private parking spaces.
