The front of the house has the original decorative mouldings, black & white apex & blue brick path. There is hard standing parking with grid pattern paving & a drop kerb allowing for further parking on the road.

With a large, sunny sitting room, (13' x 12'), with a grand bay window, wooden flooring, a feature gas fire place, (chimney is lined, checked July 2025), picture rails and an original Victorian door. Tasteful plantation white shutters have been added by the owner for privacy. The sitting room and dining room are both open plan, so ideal when entertaining.

The dining room is a perfect size at (13' x 11') and has original picture rails and double glazed double doors leading straight out to the garden. The owner has retained the original wrought iron fireplace which could be reinstated.

The kitchen is large at 14' x 10'. With a Belfast sink, large gas oven and hob and plenty of space to add a large family table. There is a dishwasher. This space has so much potential and is typical of this era. An archway leads to a handy separate utility room which houses the washing machine and dryer, plus there is an additional sink, cupboards, cloakroom and door to the garden. The outdoor garden tap is just outside the back door.

At the rear of the house is a delightful additional sun/garden room, with conservatory electric radiator and currently used as a playroom with views over the garden. Perfect place for children to play safely.

There is a cellar, accessed via the entrance hall, providing ample storage for household items, wine, tools, paints etc. Simply use it like you would a garage or workshop. It also has the potential to be tanked for additional living space,((subject to planning).

Head up the original staircase and you will find Bedroom 1, a fabulous space at (16' x 15') overlooking the avenue.It will take a large Queen sized bed and has 3 period windows, plantation shutters for privacy and my favourite, a window seat with storage underneath.

Next find Bedroom 2, a super sized (13' x 11') overlooking the rear garden, with original period fireplace, picture rails and large enough to take a double bed.

Bedroom 3, at the rear is (10' x 9') and again an excellent double room, with views over the garden, high ceilings, currently used as a double office.

Bedroom 4 is really cute, used for grandchildren when they stay and at (7' x7') would make an ideal home office or dressing room.

There is a family bathroom with a large sink, bath and shower. The ceiling has 4 LED downlights with a central sun tunnel light bringing natural light into the room, even on the dullest days. There is a classic column radiator.

The gas central heating boiler is housed in the airing cupboard on the landing, installed in 2013, serviced annually with the last service July 2025.There is a large boarded loft with fitted loft ladder that offers a significant amount of additional storage.

The garden is really pretty, mature with plentiful roses, clematis, bedding plants and has been lovingly tended over the years. It is low maintenance with pretty brick paving and there is an outside tap close to the back door.

There is a large handy shed for gardening equipment and additional parking for one at the rear of the house, (accessed via Bourne Street and left into Victoria Lane, a dead end). I am told the children spent many hours safely cycling and playing footie on Victoria Lane at the back).

We look forward to showing you around.
