About
Step inside Devon Road and you’ll quickly realise this is far more than your average two-bedroom home.
With a brand-new kitchen ready for busy mornings and cosy evenings, updated electrics, a new boiler already taken care of, and rooms that feel wonderfully spacious throughout, this is a home that makes settling in easy.

With external power and water already in place, it’s a space packed with potential.
Inside, the generous lounge offers the perfect place to unwind, while the newly fitted kitchen brings a fresh, modern feel to the heart of the home.
Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom that could easily be transformed into something truly special with a little cosmetic updating.
