## Description

Looking for space, comfort and practicality?

Welcome to Dixon Green Drive – a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac of modern homes, especially popular with families.

Lovingly maintained by the current owners for many years, this property combines a welcoming atmosphere with a modern, neutral décor that feels like home the moment you step inside. A substantial single-storey rear extension has created a stunning kitchen/dining space – the true heart of the home and perfect for entertaining family and friends. The ground floor also features a bright and spacious lounge filled with natural light. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a well-presented family bathroom, making the layout ideal for both growing families and those looking to downsize without compromising on quality or space.

The house is a true credit to the current owners and is ready made for someone to move straight in and make their own memories. We think the property would be perfectly suited to a growing family looking for more space. Alternatively, it could suit someone wishing to downsize without compromising on space or quality.

Dixon Green Drive enjoys an excellent position within easy reach of local shops, schools, supermarkets and leisure facilities. For commuters, the motorway network provides straightforward access to Manchester and beyond.

In brief, the accommodation includes an entrance hallway leading to a light-filled lounge, and a modern fitted kitchen with ample units, integrated appliances and a generous dining area forming part of the rear extension. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a stylish three-piece family bathroom. Outside, there is a driveway to the front providing off-road parking, while the rear garden is well kept, laid to lawn and enjoys a high degree of privacy with no overlooking.

This wonderful home is move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter.
