Offering well proportioned rooms, private garden space, and off-street parking, this home combines practicality and location in equal measure.
Upon entry, you’re welcomed into a bright and airy hallway that introduces the rest of the home. The lounge is a generous size and enjoys plenty of natural light from a large front-facing window. There’s ample room here for a sofa suite and media unit, with additional space for a dining table tucked to the side ideal for casual meals, entertaining, or simply enjoying the open layout.
The kitchen is well sized and functional, with space to accommodate all key appliances, including a freestanding cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.

The bathroom features wet wall panelling throughout and includes a standing shower, pedestal basin, and WC, as well as a window for natural light.
There are two bedrooms within the home. The principal bedroom offers ample space for a double bed, wardrobes, and bedside cabinets, while the second bedroom can also comfortably house a double bed with ample room for bedside cabinets and a wardrobe, also ideal as a home office, or guest room depending on your needs. The layout provides excellent flexibility, suiting a wide range of buyers and lifestyles.
Externally, the property benefits from a paved area to the front that offers off-street parking, with enough space to further develop into a driveway suitable for 3–4 cars. To the rear, you'll find a wonderfully private garden enclosed by mature hedges, offering a safe and peaceful environment for relaxing, gardening, or hosting BBQs and gatherings in the warmer months.
The location is a major highlight. Parkhead Primary School is just a short walk away, making it ideal for families with young children.
