DESCRIPTION The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall that provides useful built-in storage. The bright and cozy reception room is finished with neutral decor and soft carpeted flooring, featuring a large double-glazed window that floods the room with natural light. An open archway leads seamlessly from the lounge into a smart, modern fitted kitchen, complete with glossy units, wood-effect countertops, built-in electric oven with ceramic hob and space for free-standing appliances.
The well-appointed double bedroom features integrated storage cupboards, and a double-glazed window overlooking the surrounding grounds. Serving the home is a modern three-piece shower suite fitted with a spacious walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin, and toilet.
Outside, the property forms part of an attractive brick-built development surrounded by well-maintained communal grounds and mature hedging. The flat includes its own assigned off-street parking space.
