Owners Comments
\"A family home since 1986, we have focused on bringing out the best in this charming Edwardian semi. St Helen's Road is a sought after quiet cul de sac across from the Borough Gardens, with an annual street party and carol singing at Christmas. The house is five minutes walk into town and ten in the other direction to river and water meadow walks. A residents' parking scheme ensures that there is always parking space available - we always find a space outside the house or very close by. We've retained many original features, including original sash windows, stripped doors and wood panelling. These are complemented by unique additions, including a bed sitting room well suited to a teenager, with platform bed space. There is also a light loft day room/ study on the top floor, and ample storage space throughout. The tranquil walled back garden features decking, pond and a waterfall.The large front room upstairs is currently used as a sitting room with wood paneled bay window, feature teak parquet floor with maple line and attractive open tiled fireplace.\"
