This property is a more modern build and offers spacious rooms over two floors. The house has been let and is now offered for sale with no chain. Although the house has mains gas central heating and timber double glazing, there is still scope to improve the property and add value. The layout is somewhat traditional with an open plan living dining room which opens up onto the rear courtyard garden. The kitchen is at the rear and many people may open this up to the main living space or indeed make it into a kitchen dining room across the back and have a separate living room. There is a useful side porch too accessed from the kitchen and the rear courtyard. On the first floor are 2 bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside, there is an easy to maintain courtyard garden to the rear with gated access to the side. The advertised price doesnt include parking but the adjacent parking space could be negotiated separately not the garage should this be desired.

Agents note Depending on whether the parking is purchased or not, the boundary to the left of the house can include a strip to the side to allow pedestrian access to porch gate rear courtyard without going through the house.
