This modern property presents with brick elevations and a tiled roof. It has benefitted from improvements in recent years, with works including refurbishing the Cloakroom and Bathroom, re-plastering the ceilings and fitting LED downlights, and installing Oak finish internal doors. This property, which is located conveniently for schooling, nearby shops and the station, would suit first-time buyers, a family, or investment purchaser. The current owners have found a new-build property, and therefore, we would recommend viewing at the earliest opportunity.
