The accommodation is approached via a spacious entrance hallway, thoughtfully arranged with built-in storage cupboard fitted with shelving. The main living space comprises a comfortable lounge area that opens directly into the kitchen, creating a sociable, open-plan layout. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, stainless steel sink and drainer, washing machine and a freestanding fridge/freezer. From the lounge, the double bedroom provides excellent fitted storage, with built-in wardrobes and drawers extending along one wall.

The location is a particular highlight, with excellent level access to a range of everyday amenities including Tesco, a doctors' surgery, sub post office and other local shopping facilities, all within comfortable walking distance.
