This modern red brick townhouse is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac location in the suburb of Sydenham, which is approximately two miles from Belfast city centre. With three bedrooms, a large living/dining room and separate kitchen, this is the perfect starter home for a couple or young family.
Through the entrance hall, the kitchen is at the front of the house, which is unusual but makes washing the dishes much more sociable as you can look out the window at the neighbours! The kitchen is 10' x 7'11" (3.05m x 2.41m). The breakfast bar faces a hatch opening into the living room - this arrangement means that the person doing the cooking is not completely isolated from those in the living room, which is great for dinner parties. The kitchen is plumbed for a washing machine and dishwasher, and also has a single drainer stainless steel sink unit.
The separate lounge/dining room measures 14' x 13' 3" (4.27m x 4.04m). There is a natural brick fireplace in the living room with a quarry tiled hearth. The living room has double doors opening onto the rear garden, which is done mainly in lawn with a paved patio area.
On the first floor, the landing opens onto three bedrooms:
Bedroom One is 11'7" x 8' (3.53m x 2.44m).
Bedroom Two is 11'9" x 8'1" (3.58m x 2.46m).
Bedroom Three (currently in use as a home office) is 7'9" x 7'2" (2.36m x 2.18m).
The fully tiled bathroom has a white suite comprising a panelled bath, Mira electric shower unit, low flush WC, and pedestal wash hand basin. A spacious cupboard on the landing provides extra storage space, as well as room for the gas boiler unit.
New carpets and vinyl have been recently laid throughout, and all the walls are freshly painted in a neutral colour scheme, so no decorating work is necessary. The house is easy to keep warm all year round, with Phoenix gas piped in for radiator heat and also hot water on tap, and an open fireplace in the living room. The house has been completely cabled for broadband internet access and cable television, and is also wired for a BT landline.
At the front of the house is a large private driveway which can accommodate up to two cars, and there is also shared visitor parking nearby.
This house is perfectly located for all types of transport. The Metro bus service to the city centre stops outside the entrance to Inglewood Court, a Translink train station is within two minutes' walk, Belfast City Airport is accessible on foot via a free shuttle service from the train station, and the M3 motorway is within five minutes by car.

Nice write-up. I'd buy the house, if I wasn't already living in it :D
Actually now the For Sale sign is up I've got strangely attached to the house... It kinda makes me sad to be leaving such a nice wee cul-de-sac, but hopefully we'll find just as nice a place in New Zealand.
It's just a pity that the public transport in NZ is so comparitively poor, cause this house is soooo handy for getting to all sorts of places in Belfast quickly. We've really been spoiled!
