About
When you step inside, the hallway here sets the tone – it feels open and surprisingly roomy, with two built-in cupboards so you can hide all your stuff away.
The wood-style flooring runs right through to the living area, which gives it a really nice flow.
The living room has a window overlooking the communal gardens out front, so it feels light and leafy rather than apartment-block-ish.
The kitchen sits just off it in a sociable open-plan style, fitted with cream gloss units and a built-in oven, gas hob and space for your white goods. The bedrooms are both proper doubles.
The main bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, and there’s a separate bathroom too, with a bath, perfect for a leisurely soak, and a window – which makes such a difference.
Outside, the property comes with two allocated parking spaces, along with visitor parking for guests.
Lawned communal gardens surround the building, meaning it is well screened from the street and offering plenty of space should you wish to take a deckchair outside and enjoy some sun.
If you like having everything close by, this spot is ideal. The Holly Hill Leisure Centre, Park Gate shops and Locks Heath Shopping Centre are all less than a mile away, so daily errands are easy.
And when you fancy something a bit nicer, The Orange Grove Hotel is literally a short stroll away, perfect for Sunday roasts, coffee, or catching up with people without needing the car.
