Description
Placed in a cul-de-sac in the popular Clifton Moor area of the city, the property has easy access to the outer ring road and good links with the city centre. Clifton Moor shopping park is also just a short distance away.

The ground floor continues with a fitted dining kitchen which has a range of wall and base units, a built-in double oven, five burner gas hob, fridge, freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a set of French doors leading to the rear garden. There is a useful utility room and a separate W.C accessed just off the kitchen and the downstairs is completed with a double bedroom, which has many potential uses and could be an extra reception room. To the first floor is a main bedroom with a large amount of built-in storage and a three piece en-suite shower room. There are three further good size bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom. The house also has the advantages of mainly wooden double glazing and gas central heating.
