Description

SUMMARY
This charming three-bedroom terraced house is perfectly positioned for modern living, located just a half-mile walk from the mainline railway station and with a host of local amenities right on your doorstep.


DESCRIPTION
The property welcomes you via an entrance hallway, leading into a bright and spacious lounge that flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area. This superb open-plan layout creates a versatile and sociable heart of the home, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Towards the rear, you will find a well-appointed kitchen and a convenient ground-floor family bathroom. A standout feature of this home is the useful cellar, offering excellent additional storage or potential for conversion (subject to necessary permissions).

Ascending to the first floor, a central landing provides loft access and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for a growing family, a couple needing a home office.

Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed courtyard-style rear garden – a private, low-maintenance space perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or some al-fresco dining in the warmer months.

Please confirm exact costs with the auctioneer.
