That is borne out in the images too. A lovely mix of the old and the new. The original 1960s design still very much in place, not least with the glazing, the stairway and the overall layout. But updated for the modern era too, especially when it comes to the kitchen area. and the general decor. It works for us.

There is a private rear garden too, which leads to ‘extensive’ communal grounds, with a small front garden too, along with an enclosed patio. Note that the house also has a ‘large storage space’ which some neighbouring houses have ‘excavated’ to add to the accommodation. Presumably planning permission needed if that’s your plan.
