Stuart
It is very well equipped with modern appliances. The open plan kitchen/living space is very spacious with plenty of room, and different places to sit. There is a balcony and a floor to ceiling window looking out over Fitz Park. It is situated within a five minuet walk to Keswick town centre, with plenty of pubs, shops and places to eat on your doorstep. The only criticism would be the concrete external stairway to access the building, was very poorly lit in the dark. Each flat has an external light, but the individual occupants can turn them off.
