DESCRIPTION
5 Grove Road offers a purchaser the opportunity to renovate this two bedroom mid terrace property. The current owner has modified the first floor of the property to provide ensuite bathrooms to both bedrooms providing a more user friendly layout.
To the ground floor, the front door opens to the living room, a generously proportioned room with window to the front and a fireplace. From the living room there is a second reception room which has an original stone fireplace, uncovered by the current owner, a window to the rear yard and stairs rising to the first floor. The room could be converted to be used as a kitchen providing more space than the current kitchen in the property which lies to the rear. The current kitchen comprises base units, a sink unit and a new combi boiler. From the kitchen there is a rear porch and ground floor WC. A door from the rear porch provides access to the rear yard.

To the first floor there are two bedrooms, one lying to the front of the property that has had work carried out to provide an ensuite shower room with large shower, there are provisions for a vanity unit and sink, with a sliding door opening to the Sani flow WC. The addition of this ensuite solves the previous issue of having the bathroom at the rear of the property accessed through the second bedroom. The second bedroom has had the previous fitted wardrobes removed to create more space. The majority of the first floor has been replastered with only a couple of walls remaining un-plastered to allow for plumbing works to take place in the new ensuite.

Externally the property has a small front garden with path to the front door and private rear yard with access to the back lane running behind the terrace.
