About
The perfect low-maintenance home within a level walk of the pretty town centre, handy for most of the town's amenities and with its own parking and manageable garden.
The Property This lovely mid-terrace house is well-situated close to the town centre, within a level walk of the Tesco store and all the amenities that the pretty town centre has to offer.
Perfect for first or second time buyers moving up the ladder, it's also ideal for those looking to downsize into a more manageable home in a more practical and convenient location.
Accommodation A good-sized entrance hall provides access to a useful understairs storage cupboard and a conveniently positioned downstairs cloakroom.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of birch-fronted units, incorporating a built-in oven and gas hob with stainless steel cooker hood over, together with space for an upright fridge freezer and washing machine.
Extending across the rear of the property, the living room enjoys plenty of natural light from a window and French doors opening directly onto the garden.
Stairs lead to the first-floor landing, which gives access to the bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
There are two double bedrooms, with the larger rear bedroom enjoying views over neighbouring properties towards the Shudrick Valley beyond.
The front bedroom benefits from a useful overstairs cupboard housing the Potterton combination boiler and hot water unit.
Outside To the rear is a pleasant small and manageable garden, fully enclosed by fencing and laid to slate chippings, a small lawn and paved patio.
A small border includes a climbing rose, but the garden is very much designed for ease of maintenance.
A gate leading out to the rear where there is an allocated parking space just a stone's throw from the back gate. The space is marked as 3W.
Situation The property is situated right in the heart of the town centre, with its good variety of independent stores located within a level walk of the property.
Additionally there is a pathway that acts as a short cut to the shops further up East Street, including the Post Office.
