There is a private parking space at the front of the building and two areas of communal garden at the rear, with one of those areas comprising a pleasant courtyard and decked sitting area. In addition, there is a communal tumble dryer. Utilities are on smart meters.
The accommodation benefits from gas central heating and double glazed windows and doors. Access to the third floor is either via the passenger lift or the stairway. The private entrance hall within the apartment has a security entry/intercom system to the main front door of the building.
The heart of the home is the bright and airy open plan living room and kitchen which has double doors opening at the front forming a Juliette balcony which enjoys the open views over the town towards the Bristol Channel.
