This established modern property presents with brick elevations and a tiled roof. It has benefitted from improvements in recent years, with works including opening up the downstairs rooms, resulting in a super living, dining and kitchen area, re-fitting the Kitchen and Bathroom, and installing a new gas boiler and radiators. 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.
