Conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities and also to a number of commuter roads in and out of the city the home is well presented throughout providing both spacious and versatile living accommodation.

The first addition to the original property is a large porch, ideal for dumping the shopping from the car on those bad weather days. From the porch you enter the entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor, and two useful under stairs storage cupboards. There are then doors leading through to both the kitchen and reception rooms.

The main lounge has a feature bay window to the front elevation and sits open plan to the dining area creating one generous reception space. Like with many of the semi-detached properties in the immediate area there would be a variety of possibilities to reconfigure the ground floor if less reception space and more kitchen was desired without the need to extend further.

Beyond the dining area to the rear is another extension which accommodates a flexible fifth bedroom with en-suite wet room. This potentially could be used for an elderly relative or a family member needing care but also could be used as an office/study/ games room if not.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a further single bedroom which was the homes original box room. There are two double bedrooms in the original part of the property, the first with a bay window to the front and the second bedroom overlooks the garden.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which comprising a three piece white suite.

To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides off-road parking and a neatly tended front garden enhances kerb appeal. At the rear is a good size and relatively low maintenance garden which the current owners use to stand an impressive array of potted plants. The garden also has a very useful and substantial brick-built outbuilding which was formally the garage.

Already an impressive size the home could be made even larger by extending into the car port area or even going up into the loft space. The possibilities and potential this home has to offer will have a wide appeal to a variety of buyers and internal viewing is highly recommended.
