Semi-Detached House
Constructed in 1893 of brick under a slate roof, an opportunity to acquire an entirely genuine and unspoilt Victorian residence enjoying large gardens and having immense scope for a scheme of sympathetic improvement and modernisation. The house retains many of its original features - tiled floors, sash windows, panelled doors, picture rails and fireplaces.
Briefly it comprises an entrance hall, two living rooms, kitchen with scullery, two first floor bedrooms with separate wc and bathroom, and two further second floor bedrooms. Externally there are large gardens to side and rear, with vehicular access from Ashleigh Drive to a detached brick built garage. There are also further brick built store sheds, and an area of orchard. Part of the garden may have some development potential but no enquiries have been made of the local planning authority. An opportunity to acquire such a residence in an established and popular residential area is quite rare and an internal inspection is highly recommended.
