45 Culm Close is a well-presented, modern two-storey end-terrace house, pleasantly situated within a popular residential development and offered for sale on a shared ownership basis – please refer to the Agents Note within these particulars for further information.
Benefiting from PVC double glazing and gas-fired central heating, the property offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation, ideally suited to first-time buyers looking to take their first step onto the property ladder. Shared ownership opportunities of this nature are rarely available, and an early internal viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

To the front of the property is a small, low-maintenance garden, laid predominantly to gravel with a paved pathway leading to the entrance and metal railings forming the boundary. To the rear is an attractive, enclosed split-level garden enjoying a desirable southerly aspect and providing a real ‘sun trap’. The lower level is paved and features useful built-in seating/storage, with steps leading to the upper level, which has been gravelled for ease of maintenance and includes a flower border and timber garden shed. A side gate provides access to a designated parking space situated to the rear of the property, whilst unrestricted on-road parking is also available to the front.
