And as everyone knows, we only do nice decent houses - that get snapped up quick, and as you can see for the pictures, this one is no exception! OTHER THAN... This house has a lovely calm feel to it, which is quite unusual and can only be experienced with a viewing.

So, what have we here...... let me explain.....
Situated on Philip Street, not far from Sainsbury's and the new Academy, this is a mid-terraced house in a row of well presented terraced properties on the right as you go up this one-way street. Parking on this street is easy and there's plenty of it.
Entering by the front door, there is a vestibule which then leads into a nice long hallway.
The first room you come to is the Front Reception Room... on the right. And as you can see the pictures say it all..
Here we have a lovely reception room
(currently used as a dining room), painted in soft tones and benefiting from a nice soft carpet. The main focal point in this cosy room is the feature fireplace. A large window, with fitted blinds, overlooks the front of the property.
The next room along the hallway is the Rear Reception Room or main living room.
This is a good-sized room, AND it has additional storage space under the staircase.... handy for keeping the hoover and ironing board in.....
The main focal point in this large airy room is an inset feature fireplace that fits in nicely with the décor and style of the property. A large window allow loads of natural light to flood in.... and looks out into the rear yard.
The Kitchen is accessed from the rear reception room, and as you can see from the pictures, we have a well fitted out kitchen here that benefits from ample cupboards and high-gloss work top space. The free-standing gas cooker is included with the property.
It also benefits from a space and plumbing for your washing machine, dish washer and under counter fridge... A door leads out from the kitchen into a spacious rear yard.
First Floor.....
The stairs to the first floor are situated in-between the front and rear reception rooms.
At the top of the stairs, and on the right, is a large Master Bedroom. As you can see from the pictures there is plenty of room for that large double bed... and your wardrobes.
A large window looks out over the front of the property.
Across the landing, at the rear of the property is a Second Bedroom. As you can probably tell from the pictures, this is a decent sized second bedroom! Benefiting from soft neutral colours on the walls and a matching soft carpet. A large window looks out over the back of the property into the rear yard.
The Family Bathroom is also at the back of the house.
Here we have a lovely bathroom decorated in a cool duck egg blue that works wonderfully!
Not only is there a nice bath, but this one has a separate electric shower over it too.
There's also a nice large radiator - handy for warming the bath towels after a long soak.... with additional storage is to be found inside the built-in cupboard adjacent to the bath, and as you you would expect there is the usual WC and free-standing wash basin.
This lovely house is just waiting to make someone a lovely home, done to an excellent standard all we are looking for is a suitable tenant to match.
As you might expect with a property of this standard, it is fully double glazed and benefits from gas central heating.
To fully appreciate this lovely spacious family home you really need to come and feel it for yourself by doing a viewing. Remember we are open 7 days a week - weekdays til 8pm.
