Equally, the property offers potential appeal to a range of purchasers looking for an affordable home in an established residential setting.

The property provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and offers a practical layout that is well suited to modern day living. Internally, the accommodation benefits from a good degree of flexibility, while externally the property enjoys an enclosed rear courtyard providing a private, low-maintenance outdoor space.
