The kitchen has glossy white SieMatic units with glass-panelled wall presses and lots of high tech appliances. This leads through to a diningroom; an inviting space with exposed brick walls and a cappuccino-coloured stone floor.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom with a Villeroy and Boch shower, with a rain-maker shower head, and heated chrome towel rail.

The main bedroom has glossy timber floors, built-in wardrobes, and a feature wall with mint green wallpaper.There’s a small city garden to the rear with a granite wall and Indian sandstone paving.
