An excellent chance to purchase a spacious three-bedroom traditional home, which has been newly refurbished by Community Housing. This bay-fronted semi-detached home is ready to move in to and has a lot to offer, including a large private rear garden, plentiful off-street parking plus a light and airy interior.
The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway allowing off-road parking for around two-cars, with the potential to be expanded if required.
Once through the front door, you are greeted by a long entrance hallway featuring a staircase rising to the first floor, a door accessing the rear garden and internal doors to the living room, kitchen and ground floor wetroom.
The bay-fronted living room floods with light from two windows and like the rest of the property has been freshly decorated to give a neutral colour scheme ready for the new owner to add their own stamp.
There is a newly refitted kitchen, which is spacious enough to accommodate a living/dining area and thus ideal for growing families. The kitchen is laid to wood laminate flooring and benefits from dual aspect windows to the front and rear. There are matching wall and base units, with work surfaces, an inset sink drainer and space for various appliances.
Nicely tucked away at the rear of the ground floor is a large wetroom featuring a tiled shower area and a white suite comprising a pedestal washbasin and a low-level WC.
First floor
Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms including a particularly spacious 14 ft master bedroom.
The three bedrooms are all serviced by a newly refitted bathroom, which has been styled to a contemporary design and features slate style tiling, a panelled bath, a pedestal washbasin and a low-level WC.
Gardens and grounds
The rear garden is a noteworthy feature of this property, being extensive in size and not overlooked. This fantastic outside space is extremely family-friendly and affords excellent scope for future extensions to the property or the addition of outbuildings such as a home office or the like (subject to the usual planning consents). The gardens are enclosed by a mixture of wooden panel fencing and mature hedgerow and benefit from gated access to the side, with a full-width paved patio giving way to long sweeping lawns, which are divided by privet.
The property has mains gas, mains electricity and mains water.
