If you lived here...

From the moment you arrive through your own sunshine-yellow front door, the home makes a lovely first impression.

Inside, the kitchen/reception room spanning 200 square feet offers a bright and welcoming space for entertaining and relaxing. Underfoot, you have pale wood-effect laminate flooring while the kitchen end is arranged in a practical L-shape, with white fitted cabinets and an attractive pastel mosaic splashback. A large picture window floods the space with natural light, offering relaxing views of the lush garden below.

The back door leads onto your balcony, where a set of external stairs allows access to your generous fifty-foot-long private rear garden. Flanked by natural timber fencing and screening greenery, it’s the perfect blank canvas to create the lush haven of your dreams.

The two bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home, both comfortable doubles with soft carpeting underfoot. The larger, measuring a generous 130 square feet, includes smart built-in shelving that makes practical use of the former fireplace recess.

The bathroom is a bright space fitted with a classic white suite that includes a traditional-style washstand and a bath with an overhead shower. White tiled walls and decor create a calm, contemporary feel, and a window offers natural light and ventilation.

A word from the owner ...

"This was my first home and i spent 5 very happy years living there. The living room gets lots of natural light from the huge window (no other flat on the street has a window that big) i've put a lot of love into the garden and would be happy to know it's been taken over by someone nurturing who will appreciate the space. You've got the wetlands on your doorstep, lots of cool cafes and pubs springing up every day, and the Vicky line will take you into the city in 40 mins if you need to commute for work. Now that i'm typing this all out i'm having second thoughts about selling :D"
