Also having the well regarded Leighton Academy Primary School within a close proximity will attract families with small children.
Offering well proportioned accommodation, the ground floor comprises of a hallway with access to all downstairs rooms that include a generous main lounge, separate reception room that could be used as a formal dining room or family room, or children's playroom. The ground floor also offers a useful cloakroom/wc and a good sized kitchen.
To the first floor, the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room whilst there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The appeal of this home continues outside, where to the front there is ample off road parking for several cars and to the rear there is a generous garden.
Finally, if all of that wasn't enough to encourage you to arrange a viewing, there is also a double garage, ideal for car parking/storage, or possibly for conversion to additional living space if desired (subject to gaining the required consents form the local authority)
