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.
