Offered to the market with the distinct advantage of no upper chain, this residence is ideal for those looking to put their own stamp on a home and create a personalised living space.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming lounge/diner, a versatile space that forms the heart of the home.

A family bathroom serves these bedrooms, and like the rest of the interior, offers scope for contemporary upgrades. The layout is practical and functional, ready to be transformed into a modern haven.
Externally, the property boasts a good-sized garden, a valuable asset for outdoor living, gardening enthusiasts, or simply enjoying the fresh air.
This private outdoor space offers plenty of room for children to play, al fresco dining, or creating a tranquil retreat.

Parking is well catered for with a convenient drive and garage, providing secure off-road parking and valuable storage space – a highly desirable feature in any family home.
The end-of-terrace position often affords more privacy and light, enhancing the overall appeal of the property. The location of this home is truly excellent.
