Property description
Forbra,15 Church Road is a characterful bay fronted semi-detached post war family home offering three bedroom accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor rooms are surprisingly spacious offering a separate living and dining room, a sizeable kitchen and a very useful lean-to conservatory style extension off the kitchen incorporating a utility area. The first floor offers a large master bedroom, a second double bedroom and a good sized single bedroom. The bathroom has been replaced with a shower room. From the first floor landing access is gained to a generous roof space with boarding, retractable ladder and a glazed attic window.
The property is considered to be in a fair condition and has obviously been well maintained. In recent years the windows and doors have all been replaced with uPVC double glazing as have some of the soffits and fascia boards. Central heating is provided by a mains gas fired boiler to a water-filled radiator system.
The plot is generous in size having a good frontage onto Church Road with a private gated drive offering extensive off road parking. The front and side gardens are open plan within a brick wall boundary and there is a former garage which has been converted into a workshop/garden store.
The original garage doors have been removed and replaced with a uPVC frame incorporating a door and several windows. The west facing rear garden is of a particularly good size and overlooks the Laverstock and Ford Sports Club grounds.
There is no doubt that Forbra would offer immense potential for further improvement and extension subject to obtaining the relevant consents from Wiltshire Country Council.
