12 Lambourne Avenue is a very striking, detached 1930's house which offers extremely generous and versatile accommodation (extending to over 1700 square feet). It does require a little updating and refurbishment and offers scope for extension and further development.

On the ground floor an entrance porch and large hall lead to a cloakroom with WC, a sitting room, a dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study and utility room. On the first floor a very spacious landing leads to four bedrooms, a bathroom (with bath, shower and WC) and to a separate shower room. Central heating is provided by way of a gas fired boiler and windows are double glazed. One of the great strengths of the property is to be found outside where there is a large landscaped garden and two driveways that provide extensive off road parking. One of these driveways leads to a recently erected double garage.
