## Description

The Property

Occupying an attractive position with open aspects to both the front and rear, this well-maintained three-bedroom mid-mews property offers spacious accommodation, excellent storage solutions, and a private rear outlook.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a generously proportioned living room filled with natural light. To the rear, the property boasts a newly fitted contemporary dining kitchen, stylishly appointed with modern units and ample workspace, while also benefiting from useful built-in storage cupboards and direct access to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite incorporating a shower bath.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden enjoys a lawn and patio area, providing an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Backing onto an open green space, the garden benefits from a pleasant degree of privacy with no direct overlooking.

- **Target investor price (1%):** £250,000
