The annual service charge is £600 (761).

Off the entrance hall, which has a cloakroom and an intercom, is a sittingroom with a large open fireplace with tiled surround.

A French door leads to a railed terrace.

The kitchen has a tiled floor and spotlighting and the bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a door to the second terrace.
