The garage can also be accessed via the hallway and has space to house a car, with ample additional storage options, power and lighting.

The first floor is the heart of the home and has seen significant investment from the current owners. To the front of the property is a fantastic open plan kitchen/ diner. The kitchen has been refitted and has granite worktops, enjoying courtyard views to the front aspect, with a generous peninsula, ideal for light bites. This space opens up to a dining area, with side aspect, tree lined views, now a fantastic space for entertaining.  A bright dual aspect lounge is set to the rear, refurbished and fitted with a luxurious carpet, this is a cosy room, opening on to a private balcony- a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks overlooking the garden.

Two further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with roll top bath, making this level perfectly suited to family living. Bedroom three is currently being used as a walk in dressing room, showing the versatility and space on this floor.

The rear garden offers a private outside space, designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, a composite decked area leads from the back door and edges a landscaped garden with artificial grass and low maintenance boarders. A side gate leads to a covered area which is ideal for outdoor storage and leads back to the front aspect.  Drakes Court itself is a small, close-knit community within a secure gated setting. The cobbled courtyard and landscaped areas are maintained to a high standard by the residents’ management company, ensuring the development retains its exclusive feel.
