Property description
An attractively arranged 3 double bedroom modern semi-detached house presenting 2 reception rooms, a garage and good sized garden conveniently located in a no through road. Station within 0.5 mile.
Description
Distinctively part tile hung and with a gabled porch, the property is notable for its well proportioned family accommodation and attractively decorated interior. Dating from the 1970s, the property now has uPVC double glazed windows incorporating fanlight openers installed in recent years and a gas heating system with thermostatically controlled radiators served by a replacement combination boiler. Further attributes range from the part glazed pine internal doors downstairs with brass finished handles, wooden architraves and wooden skirting boards to the space-saving provision of recesses for wardrobes in the 2 main bedrooms. During our vendor clients' tenure, the kitchen and bathroom have both been refitted.
