No 12 Sunbury Park is a modern version of the classic period redbrick but with none of the refurbishing grief of knocking down walls, sanding floors and opening up the kitchen to the rear garden.

All that's required for the next owners here is to walk in and make themselves at home.

The stylish hall has the signature features of the Victorian entrance, with its honey-toned wood floor, plaster cornice and ceiling rose. A pair of full-height double doors swing open from the hall to the living room which beams with natural light courtesy of the large front bay window. A white marble fireplace forms the centrepiece, while to either side are white wooden bookcases neatly built into the alcoves.

The open-plan kitchen/ dining room is flooded with light from a large picture window and sliding glazed doors that lead to the small rear garden. Pale walls and cream porcelain floor tiles make this family area even brighter. The kitchen is fully fitted with breakfast bar, granite worktops and integrated Neff appliances. A guest cloakroom and utility complete the rooms at ground floor level.

On the first floor are two bedrooms (one en suite) and the main bathroom. On the second floor is a real feature of the property . . . the master bedroom which opens to a small balcony overlooking the communal park to the front of the terrace. The suite also has a fully tiled shower room with Velux window and a separate dressing room.

To the rear of the house is a small town garden with patio, neat lawn and a southwesterly aspect.
