Ideally positioned within walking distance of the town centre and both primary and secondary schools, the home will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from growing families to those seeking space and convenience without compromise. The property further benefits from a great-sized garden which, while already generous, offers excellent potential to extend the kitchen into the garden (subject to planning), making it ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

Outside

The house sits toward the edge of a popular and quiet residential estate within walking distance, (approx. 10 mins), of the town centre and both primary and secondary schools. To the front of the property there is a small area which is presently shingled, and a tarmac drive provides both parking and access to the integral garage. To the rear there is a good sized, fully enclosed, garden which can be accessed via the rear of the garage, the kitchen and the sitting room. Presently the rear garden is mostly layed to lawn with a separate patio area and white stone borders and a variety of shrubs which soften the boundaries. The garden would suit a variety of uses from entertaining, guests on warm balmy evenings, a play area for children or a blank canvass for keen horticulturists with plenty of space to grow both vegetables and more decorative plants..
