-[ABOUT YOUR NEW HOME]-

Positioned on Foster Street, this charming traditional mid-terrace home makes a wonderful first impression from the moment you arrive. Boasting an attractive façade, the property immediately exudes kerb appeal, offering a welcoming introduction before you even step through the front door.

Step through the front door and you arrive directly into a generous reception room that gives you far more flexibility than you might expect from the outside. The neutral décor and grey carpeting give you a great starting point for your own furniture and styling. There is enough room here to create a comfortable main seating area without the room feeling crowded.

From here, the layout carries you through into the kitchen, which sits at the centre of the home and feels practical rather than cramped. Grey base and wall units are arranged around multiple sides of the room, giving you a useful amount of cupboard and drawer storage alongside plenty of worktop space for preparing meals.

The staircase rises from this part of the house, making the kitchen feel like a natural link between the ground and first floor. Beyond it, a rear hallway leads you towards the bathroom and gives access to the yard. This separation is useful, as it keeps the bathroom away from the main reception space while still making it easy to reach from the rest of the ground floor.

The bathroom has been finished in a simple, contemporary style, with large grey wall tiles surrounding the bathing area and continuing as a splashback behind the wash basin. You have a bath with an overhead shower above, a clear glass screen, a modern rectangular basin set over a vanity cupboard and a WC positioned alongside. The vanity unit gives you useful concealed storage for toiletries and cleaning products, while the frosted window allows daylight in without compromising privacy.

At the back of the property, you have an enclosed yard with room to add your outdoor furniture. It is a manageable space that gives you somewhere to sit outside with a morning coffee, enjoy a meal in warmer weather or keep potted plants and outdoor storage.

This is an outdoor area that should be straightforward to maintain. There is no lawn to mow or large garden to manage, yet you still have a dedicated external space that can be arranged to suit your routine.

Back inside and upstairs, the landing leads into two well-proportioned bedrooms, both finished in neutral tones, grey carpeting and recessed ceiling lighting. The neutral finish makes it easy for you to move in and add colour through furniture, bedding and artwork without needing to immediately redecorate.

The larger bedroom offers excellent floor space for a double bed, wardrobes, bedside furniture and additional storage. A front-facing window brings in natural light, and the room feels open enough to serve comfortably as your main bedroom rather than simply accommodating the essentials.

The second bedroom is another useful double room, rather than a narrow box room. Built-in cupboards provide practical storage without taking up valuable floor space, leaving you more freedom when arranging the bed and other furniture. This room could work as a second bedroom, guest room, dressing room or home office, depending on your needs.

-[LIVING ON FOSTER STREET]-

Living on Foster Street means enjoying the convenience of having almost everything you need close to hand.

Widnes town centre is a short distance away, giving you access to a wide range of shops, cafés, supermarkets and everyday amenities, while Victoria Park is nearby for those looking to enjoy green open space, walking routes or outdoor recreation. Whether you're picking up the weekly shop, grabbing a coffee or meeting friends in town, you'll rarely need to travel far.

The property is also well positioned for commuters and families alike. Widnes railway station is close by ensuring you remain well-connected. The nearby A562, A557 and Mersey Gateway Bridge provide excellent road connections across Cheshire and Merseyside.

Families are well catered for too, with several primary schools close by, including Fairfield Primary School and St Bede's Catholic Infant School, while Wade Deacon High School is also within easy reach.
