## Description

Located just a short stroll away from the heart of Heswall and in the catchment area to superb schools is this deceptively spacious, two double bedroom Victorian terraced cottage.

Benefitting from characterful, impressive interior as well as off road parking, it is not to be missed!

Only on a detailed internal inspection can the potential buyer truly appreciate, the standard of accommodation on offer in this exceptionally well presented and deceptively spacious, two double bedroomed extended terraced cottage.

Having been fully refurbished throughout to the very highest of standards, the property in brief comprises; a bright characterful lounge, an open aspect breakfast kitchen leading into the dining area and a separate sitting room. There is underfloor heating to the ground floor. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a four piece family bathroom.

Externally definitely holds the 'WOW' factor with a driveway to the front and an easy to maintain rear garden, playing host to an array of plant and shrubbery, artificial grass and paving ideal for summertime entertaining.
