The ease of access to the local area and town has added so much convenience to daily life, making it an ideal place to settle. It’s with real sadness that I prepare to leave such a welcoming and close-knit community, one that has meant so much to me during my time here. **Agent's comments...** A beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home located in the sought-after ‘New Langford’ development, just moments from the Nature Reserve and local shops. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this property is ideal for families looking for modern living in a convenient and peaceful setting. The home features a re-fitted kitchen/diner with a separate utility room, creating a practical and social hub for day-to-day life. The Amtico flooring throughout the ground floor adds a stylish and durable finish, while the spacious lounge provides a comfortable place to relax. To the rear, a conservatory with underfloor heating offers an additional year-round living space and leads out to the private rear garden, which is perfect for entertaining or unwinding outdoors. Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from a re-fitted en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a modern family bathroom. A downstairs W.C. adds further convenience for family living. Outside, the property boasts a garage and off-road parking for several vehicles, ensuring plenty of space for family and visitors.
