Situation

Description

81 Fitz Roy Avenue is an early 1900's detached house which has been a much loved family home for several decades. The property is well-maintained but would benefit from general modernisation, making this an ideal opportunity for a purchaser to create a fabulous modern family home to suit their own taste and specification. The accommodation currently extends to approximately 2,275 sq ft (211 sq m) in all, set over two storeys, although there is scope for extensions subject to any necessary consents.

The property is entered via an enclosed porch with solid wood inner front door with stained and leaded glass insert leading into the reception hall with cloakroom WC. The front reception room is presently a dining room and has a feature fireplace with tiled surround and wooden mantel. To the rear is a spacious living room with an attractive natural stone fireplace. A wide bay window with central double doors opens into the timber framed double glazed conservatory with doors opening to the garden.

The third reception room is a snug/study and has a window to the front.

A door off the utility leads to a covered side passage affording access to the garden and also to the garage.

On the first floor is a spacious landing with airing cupboard, and a fine stained and leaded glass window to the rear. There are four double bedrooms, the largest of which has a wide bay window providing delightful views over the garden. All four bedrooms are double in size and all have fitted furniture, with one having a walk-in closet/store room with wash basin.
