4 bedroom semi-detached house

A Stunning 1930's semi-detached home in Orchard Close. The current owners have made numerous improvements in their time at the property, including converting the garage to create a fourth bedroom and opening up the downstairs to form a functional kitchen/diner.

As you enter the property there is a hallway. On the right hand side is the separate lounge with bay window. There are double doors to the kitchen/diner to give one open space if required. The hallway leads straight into the open plan kitchen/diner with a modern fitted kitchen. This really is the heart of the home and works perfect for modern family life. There are double doors out to the rear garden and there is a rear porch. There is also the fourth bedroom on the left hand side as you enter the property. It is accessed down a couple of steps but creates a good sized bedroom. Behind this bedroom, in the rear section of the old garage the owners have created a utility room accessed from the garden. Upstairs is a traditional layout for the period of the property, but it is lovely and bright throughout. The main bedroom features a large bay window that fills the room with light. The third bedroom also at the front of the property is double aspect and offers views of the Cathedral. There is a large double second bedroom and then the family bathroom which features a recently fitted 4 piece suite with walk in shower.
