Description

Superbly presented three bedroom semi detached family home in a convenient location in Vicars Cross and within a short walk to Hoole and the City Centre. Open plan living and dining with modern kitchen. Two double bedrooms & bathroom. Driveway parking & enclosed rear garden. Close to transport links.

The property has been well maintained throughout and offers adaptable family accommodation over two floors with light open plan living room and dining area with French doors opening onto the rear garden. There is a modern fitted kitchen just off the dining space which overlooks the garden.

At first floor level there are three bedrooms which are all served by a well appointed family bathroom. There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom.

The property benefits from a larger than average rear garden which is fully enclosed and has a favourable southerly orientation. There is driveway parking and the property also has the added benefit of being tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, although there is a very handy walking route beyond the lane leading towards Hoole, the canal and City Centre.

With its strong community feel, green spaces, and great connectivity, Vicars Cross is a fantastic place to call home.
