These modern semi-detached homes have an integral garage and a really good-sized garden. It has 3 double bedrooms and is just a short walk from the Lake Park. Built less than 10 years ago this home is in immaculate condition. As you arrive the quiet non-through road has barely any traffic throughout the day. It's a great, safe place for families to reside. The driveway parking provides space for 2 cars but the road also has built-in visitor parking bays which rarely get used.

The living room leads to a central hallway with stairs to the first floor and a door to the kitchen diner at the rear. The kitchen diner has space for a good-sized dining table and French doors lead out to the garden. The garden is a surprising size, nicely landscaped and offers plenty of space. There's a shed to the rear and a lovely seating area. Not forgetting the property comes with an integral single garage accessible to the front. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms, rare in properties of this price range. The master bedroom has 2 windows overlooking the front and a separate ensuite shower room also with a window.
