The Kitchen Alone Makes This A Million Times Better Than Most Blank Canvas First Time Buys. You can put your own stamp on the open plan living room/dining room, the two bedrooms & shower room. But the kitchen has already been updated - it’s modern, stylish and ready for your housewarming party. Property ref: KD0516

Getting your foot on the housing ladder usually means one of two things: a tired house that needs everything doing, or a done-up house where someone else has made all the exciting choices.

Here you still get the chance to make it your own but with one of the biggest and most expensive upgrades already done for you.

The kitchen is genuinely the best room in the house. It’s been recently updated with grey gloss units, marble-effect worktops and splashback tiles, and an integrated oven and hob. It's been done well, and it means you can move in, have people over, and actually enjoy the place while you figure out what you want to do with the rest of it.

Turns out the rest of it is a solid blank canvas. Downstairs is one long open plan room - with a space for living at the front, dining at the back and the stairs off to the side. It's a bigger space than it looks from the street, measuring just over 24ft in total, and with white walls and dark carpet throughout it's genuinely ready for your own ideas. There's a handy understairs cupboard too, perfect for the ironing board and hoover.

Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms - a double and a single. The shower room has a corner shower enclosure, pedestal basin and WC - functional and clean, with wood-effect vinyl flooring.

There’s a yard at the back.

Melbourne Park is literally at the end of the road - so whether it's a morning walk, a run, or somewhere to take the dog, you've got it on the doorstep.

The city centre is also an easy walk away, St Nicholas Retail Park is close, and the riverside paths are within comfortable reach too.

B&Q is only two minutes away for your decorating supplies or flat-pack furniture. You genuinely don't need a car to live well here - and that's not nothing when you're working out your monthly budget as a first-time buyer.

The kitchen alone makes 16 Linton Street a cut above your average blank canvas first time buy - with a park on the doorstep and a location that makes daily life easy, at a price that makes sense.
