The kitchen sits neatly within the open-plan arrangement, with fitted cabinetry, complementary work surfaces and a colourful tiled splashback. Its position allows whoever is preparing meals to remain part of the conversation, with space nearby for a dining table.

The rear balcony is undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features. Offering an elevated seating area with far-reaching panoramic views over Shaw and the surrounding landscape, it provides a superb setting for a morning coffee, an evening drink or simply taking a moment to enjoy the outlook. This impressive backdrop gives the home a distinctive appeal and is best appreciated in person.

Both bedrooms are positioned towards the front of the property. The larger bedroom measures approximately 11’5” x 10’2” and benefits from a bay window, while the second measures approximately 9’10” x 8’10”, offering flexibility as a bedroom, guest room or home office. A modern shower room serves the accommodation, with a walk-in shower enclosure, vanity wash basin and WC.

Below the main accommodation are two substantial storage areas, measuring approximately 20’3” x 9’5” and 17’6” x 9’7”. These provide valuable additional space for storage, hobbies or workshop use, with access from the rear. An attached garage and enclosed courtyard area add further practicality.

Outside, the frontage provides off-road parking and access to the garage. To the rear, the garden offers a combination of paved seating areas, lawn and established planting, creating an inviting outdoor space beneath the balcony. There is room to relax, entertain and enjoy gardening, with the elevated position adding to the sense of openness.

Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac on the established Buckstones estate, the property enjoys a pleasant residential setting with access to Shaw’s shops, supermarkets, cafés and everyday amenities.
