Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the master with built-in storage, and a luxurious family bathroom finished to a high standard. The property benefits from a four-car driveway and off-street parking to the front, two garden sheds and an external tap. The house is freehold and has been maintained by the current owners to a high standard; awaiting EPC.

Buyers should note the location is within a very deprived area with a higher local crime rate than average; that socioeconomic context and local market will be important for buyers to consider.

Overall, this is a neat, move-in-ready home on a sizeable plot with strong transport links and everyday conveniences close by.
