This particular property has been within the ownership and occupied by the same family for a period of almost 90 years. Both centrally heated via a mains gas fired boiler to radiators and double glazed the accommodation is well proportioned with two separate reception rooms and and two double bedrooms. The first floor bathroom has been re-modelled and refitted as a shower room. There is a ground floor shower room off the kitchen which would readily convert into a useful utility room and there is also a rear lean-to double glazed porch leading from the kitchen through to the rear garden. It may be possible to further enlarge the available accommodation, as has been the case with neighbouring properties, by utilising the roof space and creating a bedroom/loft conversion. Residents parking is available to the front of the property within the terrace which is a dead end/no through road. The rear garden is a particularly good size and benefits from a rear pedestrian access.
