Property description

This well presented three bedroom semi detached home on Gorse Avenue offers spacious, practical living and is sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers. Lovingly maintained by the current owner and recently improved, the property is ready to move straight into.

The accommodation begins with an entrance lobby leading into a welcoming hallway. To the front, the lounge is light, bright and airy, featuring a recently installed gas stove-effect fire set within the chimney breast, complete with a rustic solid wood mantel, creating a cosy focal point. The ground floor also benefits from a modern, neutrally styled bathroom suite.

To the rear, a standout kitchen dining room has been tastefully refaced and upgraded, offering an attractive and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing for a seamless indoor outdoor feel.

Upstairs, there are three well proportioned bedrooms, while the landing has been cleverly reconfigured to incorporate a useful additional shower room.

Externally, wrought iron gates lead to a generous driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a low maintenance chipstone garden. The rear enjoys a sunny aspect, with raised timber decking, a pergola seating area, pebbled garden, shed, and side access.

Ideally located next to The Nook shops, with excellent amenities and bus links on the doorstep, early viewing is highly recommended.
