About
Tucked away on a quiet street, less than a minute's walk from Wardie Bay waterfront, is the delightful 26 Wardie Square.
This lovely two-bedroom property forms part of a charming row of terraced c-listed houses.
The house has been a much loved home and laterally, a successful investment property, but is now ready for its next exciting chapter of ownership.
With working shutters, the sitting room has ample space for a dining area, with a fireplace making an appealing focal point in the room.
The original floorboards have been sanded and varnished to show the beauty of the flooring.
Filled with light, the bright kitchen is fitted with wall and base mounted cabinetry, incorporating a gas hob, electric oven, washing machine and tumble dryer.
There is also a freestanding fridge and freezer. From here, there is direct access to the rear shared garden. A good-sized storage cupboard is also located on the ground floor.
A stair with a carpeted runner leads up to the first floor.
On the first floor there is a well-proportioned, south by south east facing double bedroom and a separate bright study/store located off it (also with a southerly aspect).
To the rear, the second bedroom has a pleasant outlook, whilst the shower room (comprising shower, WC and wash hand basin) completes the internal accommodation.
Heating and hot water are provided by gas central heating.
Externally, there is a shared garden which is used by the local inhabitants and there is an active residents association, the Wardie Bay Residents' Association.
Unrestricted parking is available on the street outside.
