Accommodation

The front door opens directly into a spacious and modern kitchen, with stairs rising to the first-floor landing on the left-hand side. Previously arranged with a separate inner hallway that reduced the kitchen’s footprint, a wall has now been removed to open the space up to create a genuinely generous and attractive room — perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wall and base cupboards and drawers, complemented by ample work surface areas and an inset stainless steel sink and drainer. Beneath the stairs is an additional fixed worktop providing further preparation space, along with room for an under-counter fridge. There is also space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. Cooking appliances include an electric oven with a five-ring gas hob and extractor canopy above. A door leads through into the sitting/dining area, a naturally light-filled space thanks to double doors positioned at the rear, opening out onto the garden. The home has been recently decorated in neutral tones throughout, creating a fresh, move-in-ready feel that allows a new owner to personalise with ease.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to two comfortable bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom, positioned at the rear, is a spacious double room enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden. Bedroom two is a generous single or small double, benefiting from a useful storage cupboard positioned over the stairs, which also houses the boiler. The bathroom has been fitted with a modern white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, and a panelled bath with electric shower over and aqua-panelled surround.

Outside & parking

To the rear of the property, a decked area adjoins the home and occupies the majority of the garden — creating a low-maintenance and highly usable outdoor space. The garden is fully enclosed with secure fencing to both sides, making it ideal for those with young children or pets. A couple of steps lead down to a small patio section where a timber storage shed provides useful external storage. A rear gate offers pedestrian access directly to the communal parking area, where there is ample space available for both residents and visitors.
