A touch of charming village-style life, a lovely courtyard garden setting, second-to-none neighbourhood amenities, and a smartly refreshed two-level, two-bedroom townhouse. For those wanting a home that's so different from the ho-hum (and often depressing) offerings at this price level, here's a place to appeal to busy professionals, first-home buyers, active retirees and lock-and-leavers

Your townhouse has an updated kitchen with gas hob and electric oven. A washing machine/dryer combo is under the bench top. Adjoining the kitchen is a roomy dining/living area, with gas fire set in a traditional mantlepiece. Panel heaters add to winter cosiness. A barn door opens to the east-facing courtyard.

Floors throughout are terracotta tiles and the strong beam and brick features of the house are contrasted by fresh white paint. Upstairs, two double bedrooms, each with a built-in wardrobe, are privately apart, either side of the bathroom which has toilet and bidet, fully tiled shower, vanity unit and heated towel rail. Typical of the olde English style of the home (and village), mullioned windows look out to elevated views from the bedrooms. There's under-stairs storage, while there's a bicycle storage shed on site. Extra lockable storage is also available for rent.
