A Home Made for Family Living:-

Situated in a popular residential area, this beautifully presented semi-detached home is perfect for family life. With excellent schools for all ages just a short walk away and the town centre within easy reach, it’s a location that truly offers convenience without compromise.

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the sense of space and flexibility this home provides. Upstairs, there’s room for everyone – a bright single bedroom, which is currently used as a dressing room, a comfortable double, and a unique walk-through double bedroom that leads to the fabulous principal suite, complete with its own modern en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is stylish and contemporary, ideal for busy mornings or relaxed evening routines. Downstairs, the heart of the home really comes to life. The dual-aspect sitting room is light-filled and welcoming, with a cosy log burner for those family movie nights. The formal dining room, with its impressive bi-folding doors, opens straight onto the garden – perfect for family meals that spill outdoors on warm evenings. The kitchen has plenty of space for cooking together, while an extra reception room gives you the freedom to create a playroom, home office, or snug – whatever suits your family best. A separate utility room keeps everyday life running smoothly.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. Secure gated parking and a neat front garden give a lovely first impression, while the large rear garden is a true family haven. Children can play freely on the lawn while you relax on the paved entertaining area, and the undercover outdoor kitchen makes summer barbecues and gatherings stress free no matter what the weather does.

This is more than just a house – it’s a family home designed for making memories.
