This lovely end-of-terrace property, with its balcony and river views, has been meticulously cared for, is part of an exclusive development for over 55's.

This spacious room has large windows to the front gardens and the River Avon beyond. Wall mounted lighting adds atmosphere at night and there is a fireplace with a marble base and wood surround. Wood-style flooring throughout enhances the feeling of light and space.

Double doors connect through to the dining room with views right through to the rear of the house with its planted flowerbeds and the Leat which flows though the communal gardens. There's ample space for a large dining table and French doors take you outside to a secluded patio. 

The kitchen connects to the dining room and hallway. Partially tiled walls complement the wood cupboards at floor and wall level, which are topped with bright counters. It's a smart and stylish look, offering plenty of space for culinary inspiration with views to the gardens. An induction hob with extractor fan, dual ovens and integrated fridge/freezer plus a water softener - everything you need. 

Upstairs three generous bedrooms lead off the landing. To the left, the master bedroom, which has a dual aspect with a view to the river Avon, large fitted wardrobes, en suite shower room and WC.

To the right, another large double, with French doors giving on to a wooden balcony overlooking the tree-lined river. The afternoon sunshine pours in through the large windows making it a real sun trap. The room also benefits from a fitted wardrobe and shelving.

It adjoins the family bathroom, which is a modern, walk-in shower room with views to the communal gardens and the Leat to the rear of the house. 

The third bedroom to the rear also has large, fitted wardrobes and plenty of storage space, with lovely views towards St Laurence Church.

East-facing, the rear of the house benefits from the morning sunshine, while offering a cool place to sit in summer, with the backdrop of the Leat running by and birdsong. With gardens wrapping around the house, and water flowing by, you have a real countryside feel while being located in the heart of the village.
