Property description

THE PROPERTY A classically designed 1930's built semi detached house set on a good size rectangular shape plot on the south westerly side of Somerset Place. A well proportioned property retaining a variety of period and characterful features and having had some updating and improvement works in the past such as a renewed roof covering, renewed PVC gutters and fascias and two toilets have been replaced but it clearly would now benefit from a major programme of updating and refurbishment to bring it up to a modern uniform standard. The accommodation comprises an extended porch to the front, a reception hall, a downstairs WC, a spacious bay fronted lounge with wide arch to the good size dining room with patio doors overlooking and opening out to the rear garden and a dual aspect kitchen. At first floor level, three good size bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. Externally, an entrance opens onto a wide drive providing off street parking and wide double gates open into a further drive to the side of the property which leads to the garage set to the rear. There is a front garden and a good size southerly facing enclosed back garden. A property that must be viewed in order to be fully appreciated, it clearly offers great potential for improvement. 

LOCATION The property lies on the southerly side of this street within the sought after and popular residential area of Stoke where there are a good variety of local services and amenities found within walking distance in nearby Stoke village. There is easy access into the city and close by connections to major routes in other directions.
