Description
Having been significantly improved by the current owners, the property is presented to an excellent standard throughout, with a stylish modern kitchen, a pristine contemporary bathroom, fresh décor and new flooring. Further benefits include double glazing and a modern gas central heating boiler.
The layout is particularly appealing, with the main living accommodation on the lower floor and the bedrooms and bathroom situated upstairs, creating a layout that feels much more like a traditional house than an apartment. The impressive 19ft living room provides a generous space to relax and entertain, while the fitted kitchen incorporates integrated appliances. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, a third bedroom with built-in storage and a beautifully maintained family bathroom.
To the front, the property enjoys panoramic views across the rooftops towards the surrounding hills, adding to its appeal. A further standout feature is the good-sized garage, conveniently located to the front of the property, together with access to a communal parking area with non-allocated spaces.
The location is ideal for those seeking everyday convenience, with a wide range of shops and amenities immediately to hand at Thornton Square and a popular local school close by.
Combining generous living space, stylish modern presentation, far-reaching views and the rare benefit of a garage, this is an appealing opportunity for cash buyers seeking a well-maintained home in a convenient location.
