For those who enjoy the outdoors, Ryelands Park and the River Lune are only a short distance away, with riverside paths providing pleasant walking and cycling routes towards the city and surrounding areas.

Property Information

Behind its traditional stone frontage, this well-presented period terrace offers a comfortable and practical home arranged over two floors. Professionally decorated and maintained to a good standard, it combines period character with a modern interior and would make an appealing first home, downsizing option or investment.

The ground floor opens directly into a generously proportioned living room, where an attractive period-style fireplace provides a natural focal point. Wood-effect flooring and plenty of natural light help create a welcoming living space, with an open doorway leading through to the kitchen.

Positioned at the rear, the kitchen is fitted with cream Shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting wood-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks, with space provided for everyday appliances. A rear door leads directly outside, making the courtyard easily accessible from the kitchen.

Upstairs are two bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with a bright outlook, while the second bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes, providing particularly useful storage. Completing the first floor is a modern bathroom with contemporary tiling, a white three-piece suite and a shower positioned over the bath.

Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard is larger than typically expected with this style of property. Designed for low-maintenance use, there is ample room for outdoor seating and entertaining, along with gated pedestrian access.
