Welcome to your new home

The primary reception room is attractively presented with wood-effect flooring and a window overlooking the front aspect. A spiral staircase rises to the first floor, while open access leads through to the dining room extension. This bright and airy space is flooded with natural light from a side window and French doors that open directly onto the rear garden.

A particular highlight of the home is the modernised kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by work surfaces over. Integrated Samsung appliances include a built-in oven and hob with extractor hood, along with space for a fridge freezer. A half Belfast sink with mixer tap adds character and practicality. A door from the kitchen leads into the conservatory, which enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden.

Moving upstairs

A spiral staircase rises to the first-floor landing, providing access to two full-width bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors, offering excellent storage space.

Completing the first floor is a modern fitted shower room, finished with tiled walls and flooring. The suite comprises a single shower cubicle with mixer shower, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, low-level WC, and a double-glazed window to the side aspect.

Making an Offer

“We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.”
