## Description

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this immaculately presented one bedroom semi-detached house is situated within the highly sought after Swallowfields development, enjoying close proximity to a variety of local amenities and excellent transport links. The accommodation is well appointed throughout and begins with a welcoming entrance porch, providing a useful storage space before leading into the comfortable living room. The kitchen flows directly from the living room and is fitted with a range of units, while the conservatory, also accessed from the living room, provides an excellent additional reception space overlooking the rear garden. Upstairs, the property benefits from a generous double bedroom and a well presented bathroom comprising a low level WC, pedestal basin, and bath with shower over. Externally, the property enjoys attractive gardens to both the front and rear. The front garden is laid to lawn with a mature shrub border, creating an appealing approach to the home. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and features artificial grass, providing an attractive and particularly low maintenance outdoor space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A further standout feature is the driveway parking, providing space for several vehicles. Located on a small and popular development, this delightful home would make an ideal first time purchase, investment opportunity, or option for downsizing. Early viewing is highly recommended. EPC rating: F. Tenure: Freehold,
