Friezewood Road, Ashton

"We love evenings in our garden sitting on the ledge with a pile of cushions, enjoying a glass of wine and looking out over the gardens as the sun sets. Summer is our favourite time of year here as an internationally renowned street art festival happens on the doorstep, and you often get to see the balloons fly over as well!"

The home
A lovely two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in Ashton, set just off North Street. The home has been beautifully looked after by the current owners, retaining several original features while also offering its own private garden.

The living room sits at the heart of the home, with sanded wooden floorboards and an original iron fireplace adding character. From here, there is access to both bedrooms, the bathroom, and the stairs leading down to the kitchen.

The main bedroom shares the same features as the living room, with high ceilings, an iron fireplace, and wooden floorboards. It also has double-glazed windows with newly fitted shutters and plenty of room for additional furniture and storage. The second bedroom at the rear of the home overlooks the garden and works equally well as a guest room, home office, or nursery. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, including an enclosed shower.

On the lower-ground floor, the kitchen provides plenty of storage alongside an integrated washing machine. This leads through to the double-glazed conservatory, which has sun protection built into the roof, helping to make it a practical space throughout the year.

The outside

Outside, the well-maintained, south-west-facing garden has built-in planters that make good use of the space while keeping it easy to maintain. Tiered seating provides plenty of room to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
