Why You’ll Like It:
If you have a busy lifestyle this is the perfect retreat, tucked away on a no through street in a well -connected area with a laid back, social vibe and organic shops. With double glazing, this house has immediate appeal and inside has 57.45m2 (618.38 sq. ft.), a fuss free flow and practical layout.

Light and inviting, the living room has big windows at the front and back, with open views sweeping across the city so you don’t feel hemmed in even though you’re so central. There is ample space to share if you’re a couple or you like to entertain and a fireplace to enjoy.
Tucked away at the back, so central to the house, the contemporary bathroom has all you need including a shower above the bath and natural light.

Downstairs a large lobby with space for storage leads through to the bright and cheerful kitchen dining room which like the room above has big windows to bring in plenty of light and it opens to the patio for parties. There’s space for a table and chairs and the fitted kitchen is a modern classic with efficient storage and practical working surfaces. Well planned with everything to hand from a central electric hob and oven beneath a hood, it is good to go with designated space for an undercounter fridge and plumbing for a washing machine. Outside, the tranquil patio is a restful refuge, child and pet secure behind walls with a raised, paved dining area by a separate ‘safe’ tier for a bbq.

On the first floor, both bedrooms are simple but stylish with character, one a restful double, the other a generous single which could also be a great home office or dressing room.
