## Description

MORE SPACE THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT — AN IMPRESSIVE TWO-BEDROOM HOME WITH A GENEROUS LOUNGE AND AN INVITING REAR GARDEN

Offering a surprising amount of space behind its attractive frontage, this well-presented two-bedroom home on Whitethorn Close deserves to be seen in person. With a generous lounge, a stylish fitted kitchen and a rear garden made for relaxing and entertaining, it presents an appealing opportunity for first-time buyers, couples and those looking to downsize without compromising on living space.

The welcoming entrance hall creates a smart first impression, with stairs rising to the first floor. Positioned at the rear, the spacious lounge is a real highlight of the home. Its proportions provide plenty of flexibility for arranging furniture, while a feature fireplace adds a focal point and French doors draw in natural light. Opening directly onto the garden, these doors create a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for summer gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home.

The kitchen is attractively fitted with light-coloured cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A built-in oven, hob and extractor complete the look, with a front-facing window bringing natural light into this practical, well-arranged space.

Upstairs, two generously proportioned bedrooms continue the sense of space. The principal bedroom offers ample room for a double bed and bedroom furniture, while the second provides flexibility as a guest bedroom, children's room or a comfortable home office.

The bathroom is finished in a contemporary style, with marble-effect wall panels, a bath with shower over and a glazed shower screen. Vanity storage gives the room a neat and practical finish.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is another appealing feature. A lawn with stepping stones is complemented by a raised decked seating area, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining, weekend barbecues and unwinding with friends. Planted borders add colour and interest, while a garden shed provides useful storage.

Situated in the Pye Green area of Hednesford, the property combines a residential setting with access to the town's shops, everyday amenities and railway station. Cannock Chase National Landscape adds further appeal to the location, offering woodland walks, cycling routes and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

With its generous living accommodation, appealing presentation and excellent outdoor space, this is a home whose full potential is best appreciated on a viewing. Contact Paul Carr Estate Agents to arrange your appointment.
