## Description

A well-presented modern FREEHOLD semi-detached property, occupying a corner plot at the head of a quiet residential cul-de-sac.  Approached via the entrance hall, the accommodation comprises a spacious living room which opens into the dining kitchen and in turn double doors lead to the spacious double glazed conservatory to the rear.  To the first floor, there are three bedroom (the master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes) and a stylish family bathroom.  Outside, the property is set in gardens to three sides, the front being laid to lawn and the rear being low maintenance with an Astro turf lawn and paved patio area.  Double gates open from the driveway to provide additional off-road parking facility if required.  Benefitting from UPVC double glazing and a gas central heating system, we strongly recommend viewing for this attractive property.

Wenlock Drive is located off Wood Road.  The area has a range of excellent local shopping facilities on Leathers Lane, which includes supermarkets, regular bus services and local schools.  Trains are available at either Halewood Station or Hunts Cross Station.
