Situated on Whitwell Drive in Drakelow, this beautifully presented two-bedroom mid-terrace home offers bright, modern accommodation, off-road parking and an enclosed rear garden. Available to purchase as a 60% share, the property combines a practical layout with tasteful interiors, including a separate fitted kitchen, a spacious lounge diner with French doors to the garden, and a downstairs cloakroom.

Accommodation - Ground floor

The front entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, where neutral décor and grey carpeting establish the style continued throughout much of the home. Stairs rise to the first floor, with doors leading to the kitchen, cloakroom and lounge diner.

Positioned at the front, the kitchen is fitted with a coordinated range of light-coloured wall and base units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and wood-effect flooring. A built-in oven sits beneath a gas hob, with a stainless-steel splashback and extractor above, while the sink is positioned beneath the front-facing window. There is also space beneath the work surface for a washing machine.

Across the rear, the lounge diner provides a comfortable setting for relaxing and entertaining, with room for both a generous sofa arrangement and a dining table. A rear-facing window and glazed French doors bring in plenty of natural light, with the doors opening directly onto the garden to create a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

A separate cloakroom, fitted with a WC and pedestal wash basin, completes the ground floor.

First floor

The landing provides access to two well-proportioned double bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms benefit from two windows, creating light and inviting spaces with room for freestanding furniture. The second bedroom also offers flexibility for those wishing to incorporate a desk or home-working area.

The bathroom is finished with neutral tiling and wood-effect flooring, and comprises a panelled bath with a shower and glazed screen, a pedestal wash basin and a WC.

Outside

To the front, a tarmac parking area provides off-road parking, with a paved approach to the entrance.

The enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by timber fencing. Paving immediately outside the French doors provides space for outdoor seating, while a pathway extends along the garden to a rear access gate. The garden offers a manageable outdoor space for summer dining, relaxing and everyday enjoyment.

Location

Whitwell Drive forms part of Dracan Village at Drakelow Park, on the outskirts of Burton-on-Trent. The setting combines a modern residential development with access to the wider shopping, leisure and everyday amenities of Burton and the surrounding area.
