Hidden away at the end of a drive, in quiet cul-de-sac, this 2002 3-bed rendered block home with cavity system, has the great green expanse of Mazengarb Reserve as one of its closest neighbours. It’s a modern, easy to maintain home that’s been beautifully looked after, with a number of really attractive features.

All of the wood laminate flooring is new, and the house has recently been repainted. Every room has smart shutter-style blinds that give the place a real rustic cottage feel. The Kitchen is particularly well-equipped, with some top notch appliances, ample storage space, with a breakfast bar that backs onto the family dining area. There’s a glazed door and big windows with views and access to the garden and Mazengarb Reserve over the back fence. These are great for bringing in the all-day sun that this north-facing part of the house and section gets. Double sliding doors that can be hidden into the walls lead into a separate lounge with a powerful log burner and some floor to ceiling sliding doors out to the garden.

There are three, double-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in robe and a very smart ensuite . The other two bedroom – mirror images of each other – are both a good size and each have large built-in robes. There’s a family shower and bathroom, with a separate sink and loo just next door. At then at the end of the hall is the internal access to the garage and laundry area.

Outside at the front there’s some well-established flowers and shrubs, while the rear patio is very low maintenance, with some new hedging along the borders. This bright, warm, beautiful home is really easy to live in – it’s low maintenance but high quality. With the Reserve nearby, fibre internet connection and a bus stop at the end of the road, it’s really well placed for privacy and convenience.
