The kitchen provides space for dining and also gives access to the staircase rising to the first floor.

To the first floor, a generous double bedroom is located to the front aspect, whilst a good-sized second bedroom overlooks the rear.

Externally, the property benefits from a private and enclosed rear garden area incorporating a useful brick-built store, together with gated access leading to the rear alleyway.

Offering excellent potential in a highly convenient location, the property would be ideally suited to first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a project with scope to add value.
