Description

This beautifully presented mid terrace property would make an impressive first step onto the property ladder for any aspiring first time buyer. Situated in the village of East Ardsley, the location allows easy access to a wide range of local amenities with shops, schools and transport links within close proximity.

Presented to an exceptionally high standard with stylish modern decoration complementing the traditional look, this lovely home is ready for a new owner to simply move in and enjoy.

The accommodation includes a fabulous lounge featuring neutral decoration, laminate flooring and a window to the front aspect. An imitation log burning stove is set in a feature fireplace with exposed brick effect surround and stone hearth. The lounge leads to an inner hallway with staircase leading to the first floor and a further doorway to the dining kitchen.

The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and features a range of stylish wall and base units with work top space incorporating a sink and draining unit with mixer tap. Ample space is available for a washing machine, free standing fridge freezer and breakfast bar. A built in cooker and hob with extractor over is complemented with striking ceramic wall tiles and space is still available for a family sized dining table and chairs. Clearly the heart of the home, the kitchen is the ideal space to dine and entertain.

To the first floor a landing gives access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one is a spacious double room with a view to the front and feature fireplace. Bedroom two is a further double room with a view over the rear. The bathroom is fitted with a fabulous white three piece suite comprising bath with shower over, wash basin and WC. Traditionally styled with a modern twist, the bathroom blends beautifully with the style of the property.

Outside to the rear is an enclosed block paved patio garden that affords a high degree of privacy and the option to use as a driveway via access to the rear.

Further featuring gas central heating and double glazing this charming property simply must be viewed internally to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. Early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
