Description

An attractive and beautifully presented two bedroom semi detached home, built in 2023, offering stylish contemporary living, off road parking and an enclosed rear garden, all within a highly convenient location.

6 Clews Close is a delightful two bedroom semi detached property, combining modern design with practical, well planned accommodation arranged over two floors. Built in 2023, the property offers bright and spacious open plan living, two generous double bedrooms and a beautifully maintained rear garden, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a comfortable, low maintenance home.

The property forms part of a Discounted Market Sale scheme in conjunction with Worcester City Council, with the asking price of £185,000 reflecting a 30% discount against the full market value. Prospective purchasers are advised to familiarise themselves with the eligibility criteria and application requirements, details of which are available on the Council's website or within the sales brochure.

Set back behind an attractive planted foregarden, a paved pathway leads to a sheltered storm porch and secure glazed composite entrance door. To the side of the property, a tandem driveway provides off road parking and benefits from an electric vehicle charging point, outside water tap and gated pedestrian access to the rear garden.

Ground Floor

The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with radiator and access to a conveniently positioned cloakroom, fitted with a close coupled WC and wash hand basin.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open plan kitchen and sitting room, a wonderfully light and airy dual aspect space with a double glazed window to the front and French doors to the rear, opening directly onto the garden.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of white fronted base and wall mounted units, complemented by generous work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a four ring electric hob with extractor above, electric oven and slimline dishwasher, together with space for a washing machine and full height fridge freezer.

A returning breakfast bar provides an informal dining area whilst creating a natural division between the kitchen and the sitting room. Positioned to the rear of the property, the sitting room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden, with French doors allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A useful understairs storage cupboard completes the ground floor accommodation, whilst independently controlled heating zones serve the ground and first floors.

First Floor

Stairs rise to the first floor landing, which provides access to the loft space and the bedroom accommodation.

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room overlooking the rear garden. Beautifully presented, it features decorative wall panelling and fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, providing excellent hanging and shelving space. A further useful overstairs cupboard offers additional storage.

The second bedroom, positioned to the front of the property, is another good sized double room, currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.

Completing the first floor is a contemporary family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite incorporating a bath with thermostatically controlled shower over.

Outside

The property enjoys a delightful enclosed rear garden, thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners to provide an attractive and easily maintained outdoor space.

Immediately adjoining the house is a decked seating terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing during the warmer months. Beyond lies an area of lawn, with the garden enclosed by timber fencing to provide a good degree of privacy and security.

Additional features include external LED lighting and gated pedestrian access to the driveway at the side of the property.
