## Description

No Forward Chain!

This immaculately presented bay & forecourt property has been thoughtfully updated and modernised by the current owner in recent years, creating a truly standout home within a sought-after pocket of PO4, just moments from Bransbury Park.

Tucked away in a quiet residential cul-de-sac, the home immediately impresses upon entry — the attention to detail is evident throughout. A welcoming hallway leads into a bright, spacious, and beautifully presented open-plan living area, complete with a large bay window and clever under-stair storage. To the rear, a stylish fitted kitchen enjoys views across the superbly landscaped rear garden, while a side lean-to provides a handy utility space.

Upstairs, a generous landing gives access to two beautifully finished double bedrooms, both offering a calm and tranquil atmosphere. A modern, well-proportioned bathroom suite completes the first floor.

Further benefits include double glazing, gas central heating, and the added advantage of no forward chain. This charming home is ready to move straight into, and we highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact the Lawson Rose sales office today.
