A thoughtfully and smartly designed townhouse. It has three double bedrooms, an enclosed garden, a garage as well as off road parking a real bonus for most houses located this centrally, an elevated lounge and an incredible town centre location.

Exterior

The block paved drive takes you from the pavement to the garage and front door of this smart townhouse.

In front of the integral garage is parking for one car. Inside, through the up and over door, you have a tidy space with lighting, power and some restricted height storage to the far end.

Should you need additional parking, you may be able to apply for an on street parking permit for Craven Road. We understand this costs £30 a year from the local authority.

Entrance

You enter this smart townhouse through the part glazed front door into the entrance vestibule, with practical hardwearing mat flooring and secondary door great for keeping the heat in.

The wood laminate flooring leads you towards the downstairs loo, kitchen diner and utility room.

Cloakroom

The smallest room features a close coupled toilet, hand basin with mono tap and mosaic tiled splashback, and a wall hung radiator. This also doubles as a handy coat store.

Kitchen diner

This hub of this sociable house. The generous proportions and horseshoe configuration of the kitchen gives you more than the average amount of surface and storage space, whilst also leaving you with plenty of room for a dining table.

The timeless wood shaker style kitchen cupboards and wall units sit above and below a smart black marble effect countertop, with contrasting grey mosaic half tiled walls. Below the wide window onto the garden is a 1 sink and drainer and, beneath this, a built in dishwasher.

The south facing French doors and window, recessed ceiling lights and under counter lights ensure this is a bright, welcoming place you ll want to spend time.

Leading out through the French doors onto the garden, this is the perfect place to gather for meals, tackle projects or bob in and out from the patio and decked sitting area outside, keeping an eye on little people, drinks topped up and the barbecue cooking.
