Description
Grab it before it's gone! A brilliant, spacious family home with a fantastic sized rear garden and garage. These properties rarely come to market and I can see why, they have room for a family to grow as well as a convenient location to the West of the city. You'll find regular transport links on your door step, as well as access to the city's bypass down the road with links to the West of the region, you have a Morton Leisure Club close by, community centre and less than a five minute drive into the city centre.
The property itself requires only a little TLC with some slight updating. To the ground floor you'll find large living room stretching the whole width of the property with lovely patio doors out to the garden. The kitchen over looks the garden, has built in storage and full fitted wall and base units. The added bonus to the ground floor is the separate utility room with door out to side aspect. To the first floor, you'll find three DOUBLE bedrooms and family bathroom. All are generously sized to keep the whole family happy!
