The home itself
Inside, the layout is straightforward: four rooms, three bedrooms and one bathroom spread over three floors, with a total volume of 356 cubic metres. The living area is listed at 101 square metres by the agent, while the BAG registration records 102 square metres, a minor difference that does not change the overall picture. The plot measures 163 square metres, and the garden is a notable feature: a back garden of 78 square metres, plus a front garden and a side garden, all accessible from the rear. The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler, and it is set on a quiet road in a residential area with an open position. The ground lease is municipal and has been paid off until 30 November 2035, so there are no annual ground rent charges to factor in for the coming years.
