The bathroom has been finished with modern fixtures and includes a walk-in shower with a rain shower head, a washbasin unit, and a towel radiator. The toilet is located separately from the bathroom, which is a practical arrangement for a two-bedroom apartment.
The building has a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles. The windows feature double glazing and high-efficiency glazing, contributing to the energy efficiency of the property. The apartment holds an energy label C rating. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler manufactured by Intergas, which is owned rather than rented.
