The property boasts a large driveway accommodating multiple vehicles and a serene private garden that backs onto tranquil woodland, enhancing both privacy and appeal. While the home has been lovingly maintained, it shows signs of needing modernization to reach its full potential. The attractive front of the property features a stone walled garden and offers plentiful parking options. At the rear, a detached garage provides additional storage or workshop space, adding further utility. Upon entering, the hallway ushers you into a bright lounge with a charming feature fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere. The open-plan dining area is spacious and ideal for family gatherings, seamlessly connecting with other living areas.

The master bedroom includes a recently installed walk-in shower room—an upgrade that adds contemporary convenience. The expansive rear garden requires minimal upkeep and is primarily paved with established borders, offering plenty of outdoor seating opportunities amidst natural surroundings without any overlooking properties from behind. Martland Crescent boasts accessibility to local amenities including schools, shops, cafés, and transport links—favoring both families and commuters alike. With beautiful countryside walks right outside your door thanks to adjacent woodlands, this property not only offers immediate comfort but also vast possibilities for personalization and enhancement—a truly promising investment opportunity.
