Detached house
A victorian house with parking and a west-facing courtyard garden, located down a private lane just north of the river.
This detached house dates back to 1871 and was extended when it was first purchased around 8 years ago. The property would be well suited to families or buy-to-let investors, offering both excellent educational facilities and plenty of local facilities.
The property is entered via an attractive stained glass door and leads to a hall offering space for coats and footwear with stairs leading to the first floor. The living room benefits from a dual aspect and has a feature fireplace, contrasted by exposed brickwork and a mantel shelf. The dining room has a wood-burning stove and benefits from southerly aspects and adjoins a kitchen with quarry tiled flooring, Velux windows and a stable door to the courtyard garden. There are a number of kitchen units and a Rangemaster oven with extractor over included within the sale. One of the bedrooms is located on the ground floor and has a separate door leading to the front of the property.
Upstairs are the remaining 3 bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms and a bathroom which has been fitted with a modern white suite. The landing provides access to a partially boarded loft and there is an airing cupboard housing a Vaillant combi-boiler.
Outside the property can either be approached by vehicle via track opposite Bermuda Terrace, or by foot via the side of No.40 Frenchs Road. There is parking for one vehicle and plenty of bike storage. The west-facing rear garden has been predominantly paved for ease of maintenance and offers a superb degree of privacy.
