Description
This Edwardian terrace of houses, formerly known as Westbury Avenue, were built by a Mr Hancock and were complete by 1904. So called because of the view they commanded across to the Westbury White Horse Hill in Wiltshire. This particular property was once a complete house but was split into two flats by the owner some years ago who retained the ground floor and gardens. Centrally located in the village in Church Road it provides easy access to all amenities and bus stops to the city.This property is ideal for first time buyers and investors alike as it does require complete refurbishment throughout.You approach the property along a concrete path through the front door to a small communal entrance hall with part original geometric tiled floor. Here you find doors to the ground floor flat and upper flat. Once inside into the hallway you find doors to the lounge, bedroom and dining room. A well proportioned lounge provides bay window to the front and has retained wooden sash windows. High ceiling, frieze, picture rail and detailed cornice provide period features as do the deep skirting boards and feature fireplace.What is classed as the bedroom would have been the dining room, as a complete house, and so again retains many of these period features. With picture rail, ornate feature fireplace and hand-built wooden cupboard and shelves built into an alcove. This room currently provides access to a small garden room.The dining room is now what would have been classed as the kitchen in its original format. It does still lead onto a small kitchen and any potential buyer might look to knock this through to provide a nice open plan kitchen/dining area. You may want to focus any refurbishment here on the large stone square headed fireplace which stands out as the main focus of attention and sits centrally once knocked through. This room provides access to under stairs storage cupboard and to the small garden room.To the very rear of the property you find a small shower room and separate WC. Both could be knocked into one room although there could be further possibility to extend these further into the rear garden (STPP). The small garden room to the side of the property could also be further extended to finish in line with the kitchen to the rear and provide a light seating area.Outside the rear garden is laid to lawn with a concrete path leading to the detached single garage at the rear. There is a grass track to the garage leading up from Rock Hall Lane and this provides off-street parking space for a small vehicle.
