## Description

Nestled on the edge of this popular riverside town within a cul--de-sac, and backing onto a nature reserve, lies this detached family home, offered with no onward chain.

Roman Way is an established cul-de-sac development of detached houses and bungalows situated to the north of the town’s Market Place.

Built in the early1980’s, 18 Briary Road has been traditionally constructed of reconstituted stone beneath a pitched tiled roof and enjoys the comfort of replacement Upvc windows and a gas fired boiler that powers the domestic hot water and heating systems.  The layout currently provides entrance hall with open plan stairwell leading to first floor, cloakroom with coloured suite.  The dual aspect sitting room has central chimney breast that houses gas effect fire, patio door to rear. The dining room has aspect to front.  The kitchen lies to the rear with a basic range of base and wall mounted units, space for free-standing appliances. Door off to utility room, access to rear and garage.

To the first floor the property provides four well-proportioned bedrooms each with built-in wardrobes, the principal with en suite shower; the family bathroom completes the accommodation.

18 Briary Road is set towards the head of the cul-de-sac with well-tended front garden, gravelled driveway affording parking. Gated pedestrian access leading to the large rear garden.  Laid to lawn with established planted borders, paved terrace and garden shed.

Great location. An internal inspection is highly recommended.
