Located in sought-after Balgreen, this main-door upper flat, with a fully-floored and lined attic, offers two double bedrooms, a large living/dining room, a kitchen, and a three-piece bathroom. It has good storage available, and further benefits from a private driveway and garden. The property requires a modernising touch, although it is largely well presented in neutral tones allowing new buyers to easily add their own stamp.
The home’s private front door opens to a naturally-lit staircase that rises to a bright hall on the first floor. The living/dining room is on the left. Here, a southeast-facing bay window floods the room in warm sun throughout the day, whilst the crisp white décor helps emphasise the airy ambience. It is a well-proportioned space for everyday use, and it has access to a deep storage cupboard. On the opposite side of the hall, the kitchen is fitted with a selection of cabinets and a good amount of workspace, housing freestanding appliances (electric cooker, fridge/freezer, and washing machine). It has excellent potential for a contemporary makeover, and enjoys leafy views. Meanwhile, the two double bedrooms are located side by side, one with generous over-the-bed wardrobe fixtures and additional built-in storage, the other with a shelved display cabinet. Serving these bedrooms is a bright three-piece bathroom with an overhead shower. From the hall, a staircase leads to a large attic that is fully floored and lined, creating a versatile space for storage and creative use. It also has a built-in wardrobe and and access to further storage under the home’s roof. The property has gas central heating. Outside, the property has a large private rear garden that has a lowmaintenance design and a drying green. Off-street parking is also provided via a gated, private driveway.
