The property

Set in the highly sought-after area of Carrick Knowe to the west of the city centre, this well proportioned two-bedroom upper villa with a garden and parking is ideally positioned for accessing local amenities and transport links. Set back from the road, the front door opens into an inviting hall. Enjoying generous proportions and a lovely garden outlook, the living room has been decorated in a soft, neutral palette with crisp white accents and immediately sets the tone for the warm and welcoming accommodation to follow. The well-proportioned reception room, which boasts handy hidden storage, provides flexible floor space for a variety of furniture configurations. Ideal for entertaining and everyday life, a doorway leads to the immaculate kitchen, which also overlooks the sunny rear garden. Here, there are a good selection of rich-toned wood-effect cabinets, framed by runs of marble-effect worktop and striking mosaic-style splashback. Integrated appliances include an oven, a gas hob and a cooker hood, whilst the room has been designed to accommodate a range of freestanding appliances. To the front of the property, there are two well-presented double bedrooms. The wonderfully spacious master bedroom benefits from an eye-catching curved window, whilst the good-sized second bedroom features practical built-in storage. Completing the accommodation, the bathroom includes a shower-over bath with a screen, a pedestal basin and a WC. Externally, there is a fully enclosed and sunny garden to the rear (partly private and partly shared with the lower villa), which boasts a large area of lawn, mature shrubs and trees, and a useful shed. Meanwhile, a driveway provides handy off-street private parking for several vehicles. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure optimum home comfort and efficiency.
