The flat is on the top (4th) floor corner of the block. There are 64 steps and no lift so you have to be a bit fit but it is worth it as you get a corner flat with no one above or passing by.  The windows are large and being on the top floor they receive a lot of light.  All windows are double glazed and none are overlooked by other flats. I have rented it out since 2000. It has been easy to let with no void periods. All my tenants have been happy living there.
Mostly my tenants have been single persons. I have had some couples (as is the case now) and it would be fair to say that is a bit of a squeeze but they have been happy there too.

There is gas central heating with radiators in all rooms and the flat is easy to keep warm. The gas boiler delivers a high flow of hot water to the taps and shower. There is a water softener which eliminates scale and provides water that is better than normal for washing self and clothes. It also keeps appliances and bathroom stuff easy to clean. There is filtered drinking water.
