Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY No.6 St. Helens Close is an individually designed and built symmetrical fronted family home, which was built in the 1950‘s but with the high ceiling elegance of an earlier era. The primary rooms are spacious and light with large windows, the welcoming hallway has a sweeping staircase rising to the first floor with a galleried landing over and ground floor bar area. Interestingly, property has been in the same ownership from new and although some updating and redecoration is required there is potential scope to develop further or refurbish to more modern taste.
