About this home

The Property Step into this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home, where contemporary style, generous living spaces and thoughtful features come together to create an inviting setting for modern family life. Boasting solar panels, a substantial driveway and a delightful private rear garden, this attractive property offers the perfect balance of comfort, practicality and everyday elegance.

From the moment you arrive, the smart brick façade and expansive block-paved driveway create a welcoming first impression. Inside, a spacious living room provides a wonderful setting for both relaxed evenings and stylish entertaining, with natural light enhancing the bright and airy atmosphere.

The contemporary kitchen combines sleek grey cabinetry, contrasting worktops and warm-toned flooring to create a sophisticated yet functional space. With ample storage, integrated cooking facilities and room for everyday essentials, it is perfectly suited to busy modern lifestyles. A welcoming entrance hallway, convenient ground-floor WC and useful storage area complete the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer versatile spaces for restful retreats, growing families or a dedicated home office. A family bathroom serves the first floor, completing the practical and thoughtfully arranged layout.

Outside, the generous enclosed rear garden provides a wonderful extension of the living space. A sweeping lawn, established boundaries and paved seating areas offer endless opportunities for alfresco dining, summer gatherings or simply unwinding in the sunshine. A substantial brick-built outbuilding adds valuable storage and exciting potential for a variety of uses.

Further enhancing the appeal are the roof-mounted solar panels, offering an energy-conscious addition to this charming home.

Combining spacious interiors, attractive outdoor space and modern convenience, this is a fantastic opportunity to embrace a relaxed yet refined lifestyle in a home ready to make your own.
