Subject to the necessary permissions and consents, the property could be extended at the rear and also into the loft space to create an extra bedroom and a bathroom.
The house is set back from the street by a front garden with steps up and a pathway leading to a front porch which is very handy for coats, brollies and the like. Being the end of terrace there is a handy side access where there is a gate to the side of the garden, the path leads to the back of the garden offering access to the double garage at the rear.
Upon entry there is a wide hallway which has storage under the stairs.
The lounge is located at the front of the house, it offers high ceilings, carpeted floors and a large square bay window that fills the room with natural light.
The dining room occupies the rear of the house, it has vinyl flooring and large sliding doors that give access and provides lovely views into the garden.
The kitchen is semi open plan to the dining room and has been refurbished in recent years to a contemporary style. There are plenty of white wall and base mounted units with integrated appliances, a yellow metro tiled splash back and a worktop housing the sink and hob with extractor above. A tall unit to the side houses the oven and microwave. To the side is a window and patio door that leads to the conservatory.
The conservatory is completely double glazed and has a separate shower room with a guest toilet, another patio door leads to the garden.
The garden is a sun trap in the afternoons and evenings thanks to its Westerly facing aspect, perfect for alfresco dining in the warmer months of the year. There is a patio area underfoot closest to the house which leads to a neatly manicured lawn boarded by mature plants and shrubs. Towards the rear of the garden is a healthy apple tree which shields the large double garage at the back of the garden which is a fantastic space for storage or even parking cars, motorcycles and bikes.
Upstairs on the first floor there are two bedrooms at the front of the house, the smaller of which makes a good study, nursery or child’s bedroom. The two other bedrooms are large doubles, the one facing the front has a lovely curved bay window and the one at the back has nice views over the garden and beyond, both have fitted cupboards in the alcoves of the chimney breasts.
The bathroom has also been recently renovated and includes a walk-in shower enclosure, a heated towel rail, a built-in toilet and wash hand basin in a vanity unit that sits neatly under the window.
