Albany Road, Redruth

Situated in a most popular tree lined road, this substantial semi detached house offers family sized accommodation with many character features. It benefits from four bedrooms, a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, laundry room and a first floor bathroom with a free standing bath and separate shower cubicle. Externally there are enclosed gardens to both front and rear with the bonus of a garage and a substantial store.

Set back from the road in a slightly elevated position, this family sized semi detached bay windowed house has much to commend it. Over the last few years the vendors have carried out a comprehensive work of refurbishment, replacement and tasteful updating complementing the original features. The gas heating system predominantly uses cast radiators in the old style and there is quite a lot of replacement wooden double glazing together with upvc double glazed bay windows to both floors (installed by Philip Whear Windows). Features include a fine tiled floor in the hallway, a magnificent fireplace in the sitting room together with a fine coved ceiling with a centre rose and two of the bedrooms have cast fireplaces. As mentioned, a lot of work has been carried out here and it has now been left for a discerning purchaser to finish off to their own taste and replace the kitchen. Externally there is a well enclosed front garden with what appears to be original paving. A side pedestrian gate leads to a courtyard and steps to a substantial outhouse that also has a wc. There is a lawned rear garden with a side store area and single garage. External decoration will need undertaking and there are also the dwarf walls of a conservatory that has been removed. Albany Road is a tree lined avenue leading to Victoria Park with its well known bowling green and club. To the rear is Trefusis Park which has a children's play area. The town is within a virtually level two thirds of a mile and here you will find shopping facilities, bus services and a main line railway station. Carn Marth, the second highest point in Cornwall, is within approximatley two miles and the A30 is with probably four miles.

To summarise, this home is ready for your individual stamp and the owners have spent a lot of time and effort to get the refurbishments carried out.
