Fully carpeted and of neutral decoration, a walk in storage cupboard is fitted with both shelving and clothes rails, ideal for storing outdoor clothing and footwear. A secondary cupboard accessible from the hall includes a range of shelving, as well as ease of access to the circuit breakers, water tank and Tunstall community alarm panel. A third fully shelved cupboard provides yet more fitted storage.

The lounge is a well proportioned and inviting living area. With ample space available for freestanding furniture and dining, the central feature within the lounge is the attractive feature fireplace housing an electric fire. A Juliette balcony allows for plentiful natural light to enter into the lounge as well as views over the rear of the development.

Partially glazed double doors from the lounge open into the well equipped kitchen. Fitted with a range of wood fronted base and wall units, granite effect roll top work surfaces incorporate an AEG 4 ring electric hob and a stainless steel sink with drainer. Within the kitchen there are a range of integrated appliances, including an undercounter fridge, freezer and eye level AEG oven.

Double bedrooms one and two are both well proportioned rooms overlooking the rear of the development, each with the benefit of fitted wardrobes providing both shelf and hanging space.

Completing the living accommodation is the shower room. Extensively tiled with aqua panelling around the shower enclosure, the shower room is fitted with vinyl wood effect flooring.  Featuring a white two piece suite, the wash hand basin is incorporated into a vanity unit with panel mirror above, while the shower enclosure houses a mains shower appliance and folding seat with handrail.
