Accommodation

The apartment is positioned to third floor and can be easily assessed by way of a communal lift or stairs. On entry, the hallway is flooded with natural light afforded by the two velux windows. One of the exceptional features of this apartment is the amount of storage on offer, from the abundance of eaves storage to the many built in cupboards, two of which can be accessed from the hallway.

The open plan living arrangement is impressive to say the least; bright and spacious with a dual aspect to include the bi folding doors which lead out onto the balcony. The second aspect can be enjoyed via the exposed feature circular stone window which over looks the playing fields beyond and distant Forest of Bowland.

The kitchen is both modern and practical with tiles flooring comprising a full range of wall and base units, breakfast bar with space for seating, NEFF oven, drill, microwave and gas hob, sink and a half and a combined, integrated washer dryer. Adjacent to the kitchen is ample space for formal dining furniture to seat all your family and guests along with a designated living for comfortable seating; the furniture within this open plan living arrangement can be available to purchase by separate negotiation. There are a couple of steps up to the bi folding doors, which lead out onto a fully enclosed, decked balcony area which overlooks the grounds of The Residence – the perfect sun trap and ideal for private, al fresco dining in the summer months.

In total, there are three generous double bedrooms, all of which boast quality fitted wardrobes and two of which benefit from attractive, fully tiled en suites. The stunning family bathroom is fully tiled and comprises a bath with shower attachment, WC, wash hand basin and towel radiator.
