This charming home has been recently refreshed throughout, featuring freshly painted magnolia walls, newly fitted grey carpets, and the added benefit of an upstairs bathroom. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a cosy reception room that flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen, creating a practical and sociable layout perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base units, an electric hob, and an integrated oven. There is also space available for additional appliances, along with a useful storage cupboard located beneath the stairs. Upstairs, the property offers two double bedrooms. The master bedroom is a comfortable size, measuring approximately 3.21m x 3.60m, while the second bedroom measures 2.39m x 2.62m, making it ideal as a guest bedroom, nursery, or home office.
