The existing kitchen is original yet functional, complete with gas cooktop and electric oven, and adjoins a separate meals area. The original bathroom provides clear scope for modernisation, while a versatile additional living space at the rear could be utilised as a fourth bedroom, family room, rumpus or home office.
Adding to the home's appeal, a spacious undercover deck with all-weather blinds overlooks the established gardens, creating a relaxed setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors throughout the year.
A generous side driveway from Manchester Road provides convenient access to the rear of the property, where a garage offers valuable secure parking and storage.
