Description
Cosy, snug, fully furnished, double-glazed, 1-bdrmd flat, overlooking the canal's becalming waters. Recently redecorated and deep cleaned.

Ideal for single professional or professional couple.
Entry phone system provides security to the mutual, common stairway and a ground floor door leads to the shared back garden.
Residents zoned on street and metered parking, both on Watson Crescent. Frequent buses into the town centre nearby and the nearest tram stop (Haymarket) is less than a mile away.
As a past tenant remarked,
"I’ve loved living in the flat for the last few years, it’s a well looked after and a cosy flat in an excellent location and I love the views out the back over the canal. It’s with a heavy heart that I write this, I’ve absolutely loved living in the flat for the last few years and will very much miss it!"
