This mid-terrace house has a front garden with a low wall, lawn, and path to the open porch and front door. Once inside, a bright hallway with smart wood laminate flooring leads to the front and rear living rooms and the separate kitchen. A lean-to extension spanning almost the full width of the house is accessed from both the kitchen and rear living room.

The front living room has a wide south-facing window, and a vintage tiled a fireplace surround. Measuring 13’8” by 12’10” it has ample space for sofas. White décor and the subtle grey flooring continue into the rear living room (an ideal space for a large dining table) which is also a good size at 12’10” by 12’3”. There is good natural light from windows and a glazed door to the lean-to extension. Providing an additional 150 sq ft of space the lean-to has three windows and a glazed door that opens into the rear garden. This space is suited to a variety of uses, with practical dark grey Dalsouple rubber-style vinyl flooring and a combination of white and exposed brick walls (the latter is the original back wall of the house). The separate galley kitchen has two walls of high and low-level cabinets that provide plenty of storage and worktop space and accommodate freestanding appliances, white tiled splashbacks, and entrances to the hall and the lean-to.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms (two doubles and a single), a bathroom and a separate WC. The main front bedroom has a large south-facing bay window as does the single bedroom, also at the front of the house. The rear double bedroom has a wide window overlooking the garden. and a wall of fitted cupboards. The mainly tiled bathroom, which lies adjacent to the WC, has a bath (with a mixer shower), washbasin, and obscured glass window.

An attractive open wood stair leads to the top (loft) floor where there is a fourth double bedroom with a washbasin neatly tucked into a tiled washroom space in one corner, and eaves storage. Occupying the rear dormer extension, this room features exposed wood beams and has far-reaching views.

The house has been rented for a number of years and will require some modernisation but has double glazing, gas central heating and is offered chain free.

Outside, the c.30ft rear garden has a deck, a paved terrace and brick-edged beds for planting. At the end there’s a shed and a single brick garage with vehicle access via a gated rear alley. These buildings have potential for refurbishment.
