Description
The location is particularly desirable, just a short walk from the High Street and within easy reach of the town’s schools for all ages. Everyday amenities are close at hand, while the elevated position ensures privacy and an outlook that is rarely available.
Inside, the home feels bright and welcoming from the moment you step into the split level hallway. A useful store cupboard provides space for laundry appliances, keeping them discreetly tucked away. The lounge is a delightful and airy room with a large picture window and glazed door that opens directly onto the balcony, where the superb coastal views can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The well appointed kitchen includes integrated appliances and flows easily to the rest of the accommodation. All three bedrooms are generously proportioned and the modern bathroom has been finished with a walk in shower, basin and WC.
Outside, the property offers an integral garage with power and light as well as driveway parking. The surrounding gardens are designed for ease of upkeep, with lawns, mature shrubs and colourful planting that provide a private and sunny setting.
Offered with no onward chain, 128 The Shields presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home in a highly sought after location with views that truly set it apart.
