An older style extended 4 bedroom detached family house with a large rear garden, for sale with NO FORWARD CHAIN and offering scope for extension and re-modelling, situated in a quiet, established, unmade residential road.

In the ownership of the same family since 1965, the property underwent a 2-storey rear extension in 1974 and a single storey extension in 1981.

There is a galley style kitchen with wall mounted Glow Worm gas central heating boiler, units, worktops, appliance space and door to a side lean-to (with space and plumbing for washing machine, and door to the rear garden.)

From the dining room, a door leads to a rear annexe comprising a bedroom, a shower room and a kitchen/utility room with units, sink, appliance space, patio door to the rear garden, and side door to outside.

The first floor landing has a loft access and a double cupboard, and leads to bedroom 1, a spacious double (with a wash basin), 3 further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The front garden is bounded by a mixed hedge with a 5-bar gate providing access to a driveway offering ample off road parking. There is a long, brick built garage/workshop with pitched roof, up-and-over door, lighting, power, workbench, gardener’s WC and wash basin.

Timber gates provide access to additional parking at the side of the house. There are fuel bunkers to the rear of the garage.
