Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath and shower over. The main bedroom is a good-sized double room with built-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room, and enjoys the wonderful view towards Marcle Ridge.

The Outside

The property is situated in an elevated position in a quiet, residential area, within walking distance of the town centre. Approached via a cul-de-sac, there is little passing traffic, and private off-road parking to the front of the property, with additional communal parking available.
A wooden pedestrian gate opens to a stepped pathway leading to the front courtyard and house. This area is prettily planted with terrace-style borders complemented by an established variety of flowering plants and shrubs, including an apple tree, clematis, hydrangeas and roses which create a secluded garden area.
The front courtyard provides a great sunny space from which to enjoy the elevated views across the town, towards Marcle Ridge and the surrounding countryside.

The Outside (continued)

The private and compact, rear courtyard is accessed from a side path and has a garden shed and sheltered seating area.
Bordering the property there is a permissive path that leads via Upperfields to Dog Hill Wood, above the town. This is a great recreational and dog walking amenity just a few minutes away.
