Enjoying three bedrooms, large open-plan living and dining areas, a modern kitchen, and attractive neutral interiors, plus front and rear low-maintenance secluded suntrap gardens and a private driveway, this mid-terraced house is situated in Buckstone and represents an ideal home for families and professionals looking for a quiet retreat within easy reach of local amenities and the city centre. Approached via a pathway flanked by mature shrubs, the front garden features a secluded west-facing suntrap paved seating area bounded by clematis-covered trellising. The home’s front door opens into a welcoming hallway, leading directly into the living accommodation on the left. Spanning the entire depth of the property, the reception room offers ample space for lounge and dining furniture and is presented with neutral décor and a warm wood-styled floor. Dual-aspect east and west-facing windows flood the room with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen features modern white cabinets and beautiful solid oak worktops, and on one side is open at worktop height through to the dining room. The kitchen has an electric oven and gas hob, incorporating a powerful wok-burner. The washing machine and dishwasher are included, and there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. The kitchen also benefits from two additional large walk-in storage cupboards.
The upstairs landing leads to three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The bedrooms are all neutrally decorated, fitted with wood-styled flooring, and all have fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has an extra-long steel bathtub with an overhead shower, a basin set into storage, a WC, a mirrored wall cabinet with a shaver socket, and a chrome towel radiator. There is a very large, substantiallyfloored fully-insulated loft, accessed by a drop-down loft ladder above the landing. Gas central heating and double glazing ensures year-round comfort and efficiency. To the rear, the house has a low-maintenance rear garden with clematis-covered fencing and a secluded east-facing suntrap seating area. A private driveway to the back of the property offers off-street parking and includes a handy metal garden shed.
