## Description

**Guide Price £225,000 - £235,000**

If you’re looking for a home that’s beautifully presented in a great patch, then this two-bedroom end-of-terrace home might just be the peach for you.

Step inside to the bright entry way. On the left, you’ll find an archway that allows the kitchen to feel nice and open. With plenty of white storage cupboards, black worktops and a window that lets in lots of natural light, it feels calm and relaxing. Whether you see yourself as a bit of a cook or prefer to do the tasting, this is a space that has you covered.

Carry on through to the living area. It’s spacious and well-looked after with neutral tones and LVT flooring, making it the perfect room to retreat to and unwind after a long day.

Did we mention there’s French doors that open out onto the garden? The current owners have styled the space with a dining table. Whether you take your coffee with a garden view or need a spot to catch up with friends, it’s a place that does both.

On the first floor there are two-bedrooms both presented to a high standard. Each with the bonus of their own built-in storage, meaning no arguing over hanger space.

The family bathroom has a shower over the bath. Whether you’re a fan of a long Sunday soak or quick freshen up, there’s something for every fancy. Modern wall tiling and sage green feels a bit different to the rest, while under sink storage means all your favourite toiletries are nearby and within reach.

At the back of the home is a low maintenance garden. With a mix of lawn, patio and a shed, you’ve got everything you need to host a summer soiree and enjoy those summer months.

You’re in the right place, with Dorcan Secondary school, Morrisons supermarket, Liden Lagoon and Eastcott Vets nearby. Coate Water and The Sun Inn are also accessible by foot. For when you’re after something further afield, there’s easy access to the A419 too.

A home that would make a dreamy first time buy, ready to move straight into. Peachy.
