Why buy this home?

When you walk in the hallway you feel a real sense of home, Amtico flooring runs from the hallway through to the kitchen and living room giving it a modern feeling whilst being practical.

The master bedroom is a good size and will comfortably fit a double bed or king-size bed whilst leaving enough room for a wardrobe or drawers. The second bedroom is a double, which is currently being used as a guest room, alternately this could be used as an all-important home office/games room.

The main attraction of this property is the large open-plan living/kitchen area. There's plenty of space for a comfortable sofa or you could go for a more modern corner sofa to give the room some natural separation. Finally, there's a space for a four-seater table without feeling too "cosy" perfect for when friends come over. The kitchen has lots of cupboard space and the units have been finished off in white high gloss and wood effect worktops. Integrated appliances include a washer/dryer and fridge freezer, dishwasher as well as a gas hob and electric oven.

Parking is provided by a carport as well as there being ample communal parking available.
