DESCRIPTION

A bright and spacious three bedroom detached family home set in a quiet and desirable cul-de-sac within the city centre. The property benefits from some redecoration, a large south facing garden, garage and off road parking. Having been in the same ownership for a number of years, the property now offers a blank canvas to make your own stamp and is offered with no onward chain.

Upon entering the house, via the storm porch, is a spacious entrance hall with ample space for shoes and coats along with a downstairs w/c with wash hand basin. To the front of the house is the dual aspect sitting room, a light and bright room featuring a bay window to the front, further window to the side and a stone fireplace with inset gas fire as the focal point. The dining room, again with a dual aspect, has windows and a glazed door to the large south facing garden, a window to the front and can comfortably accommodate a table to seat eight to ten people.  To one side is a blocked off, stone fireplace with shelved alcove and glazed display cabinet.  The kitchen, with a range of wooden doors and drawers, has space and plumbing for a dishwasher and features two walk-in larder cupboards and a further shelved cupboard, ideal for 'day to day' storage. At the far end of the kitchen a step leads down to a useful utility/store room with a door leading out to the front and space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and space for a fridge freezer.  A small wall partially divides the room and is shelved, providing a useful storage area, and a glazed door leads out to the garden. Leading from the storage area is a further room, currently used as a workshop/hobby room this bright versatile room could, with a little work, be used a study or playroom.

To the first floor is a large open landing leading to the three spacious double bedrooms and a large wet floor shower room. The main bedroom is notably generous in size with built-in wardrobes and windows to the front and side.  The second of the bedrooms, again with a dual aspect to the front and side, has a vanity wash basin and a built-in cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder along with shelves and hanging rail. The third bedroom, still a very generous double benefits from a built-in wardrobe and a view over the south facing gardens. The Shower room is again a good size with WC, wash basin, modern towel radiator and wet floor shower.  There is ample space to re-install a bath and shower cubicle if desired.

A path leads to the porch and and continues to the rear garden.  The south facing rear garden which can also be accessed from the dining room and store room has a large patio, ideal for outside furniture and entertaining and is mainly laid to lawn with a feature pond.  Borders with low stone walls are planted with mature trees, shrubs and spring bulbs.  To one side is a wooden shed, offering additional garden storage.
