Description
This well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers generously proportioned accommodation within an established residential development in Urmston.
Arranged predominantly across the first floor, the property combines a spacious lounge/diner, separate fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room, together with useful storage and the significant advantage of its own garage.
The lounge/diner provides an excellent main reception space, with plenty of room to create separate areas for relaxing and dining. A feature fireplace forms an inviting focal point, while the neutral decor and large window help create a bright and comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining.
The separate kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wood-effect wall and base units complemented by work surfaces and tiled surrounds. There is space for a selection of appliances alongside the cooking facilities, while a window provides natural light and ventilation.
Both bedrooms are well proportioned, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and additional built-in storage. The second bedroom also offers useful fitted storage and provides flexibility for use as a guest bedroom, home office or dressing room if required. The shower room is fitted with a practical suite including a shower enclosure, wash basin with storage beneath and WC.
The property is approached through its own ground-floor entrance, where there is a useful dedicated storage room before stairs rise to the main accommodation.
The development is set within communal grounds with parking facilities adjacent, while this apartment has the added benefit of a garage located in a nearby block, providing valuable additional parking or storage space.
The property is conveniently positioned in Urmston, an established and popular part of Trafford with a strong range of everyday amenities.
Urmston town centre provides supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities, while the wider Trafford area offers further shopping and recreational opportunities.
For commuters, Urmston railway station provides convenient services towards Manchester city centre and surrounding destinations, while nearby road connections give access to the M60 and the wider motorway network.

Nearby green spaces provide opportunities for walking and recreation, with Davyhulme Park and Abbotsfield Park among the local choices, while the open spaces and walking routes around the River Mersey are also within reach.
