The building is situated in one of the most commanding coastal locations within the town and is located close to the town centre and sea front and the popular and picturesque Torrs walk which enjoys some spectacluar coastal scenery. The bustling sea front has many good quality restaurants and bars along with small independent shops, all of which are within easy reach of the apartment. Damien Hirst's influence within the town continues to grow and there are now many art galleries within the immediate area. The Landmark Theatre is located very close by and is a fantastic facility with a large variety of shows, live music and festivals. Wildersmouth Beach is also within a short stroll as is the famous Tunnels Beaches with its sea water pool.

There are integrated appliances including an oven, hob, extractor canopy and microwave, dishwasher and American style fridge.

Along the hallway there are 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom (bedroom 2 on the floor plan) has access on to the balcony and an en-suite shower room with contemporary fitted furniture. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom/wc with similar fittings.
