Set back slightly from the road with a grassy verge to the front, this charming 11⁄2 -storey house offers a spacious 86m2 family home in a peaceful residential setting.

The house is painted white and entered via an immaculate timber-fenced front garden with paving and gravel. The property is decorated throughout in light neutral tones, with white panelled doors and joinery.

The living room has a pale grey carpet and a light grey papered feature wall. The room has an attractive shape with alcoves and coving lending character and interest.

The kitchen features an extensive one-wall layout, creating a modern, clean line that emphasises the room's length while leaving space for a dining table and chairs, and a large fridge. Wooden fronted wall and floor cabinets and a dark worktop, sink, and splashbacks give a tidy and practical feeling while complementing the contemporary setting. A separate utility room continues this look, providing practical space and a door to the rear garden.

Currently used as a place for pets, the ground-floor bedroom is spacious, and has a view to the side of the property; there is also a useful built-in cupboard.

The family bathroom is conveniently located nearby and has a bath with shower over it, WC and wash hand basin. A wooden-style vanity unit and marble effect panels complete the space.

Two double bedrooms are on the first floor, both of which have coombed ceilings creating attractive characterful spaces. The principal bedroom has a deeply set dormer window with a view to the south and across the neighbouring houses; the second bedroom overlooks the garden and has a view of the local hills.

The garden is enclosed with timber fencing and is laid with a lawn. A paved pathway leads to a gate to the front of the property and nearby residents’ parking. There is plenty of room in the garden to include areas for growing spaces, a patio and storage at a future date.

172 Shillinghill is a fantastic property which has been well-cared for and decorated. It has a substantial footprint, especially given its Council Tax of Band A. It also has the good looks and character of a mid-century property, a style which is currently much in demand.

This beautiful house is in a fabulous location close to shops and schools, making it a practical and attractive family home.
