This end of terrace home has been in the same ownership for over 50 years and provides a perfect opportunity for a first time buyer to purchase a freehold house rather than an apartment. The elevated position over Laira and the south facing rear of the house will help to create a bright spacious feel to the house. There is the potential to create a more open plan layout to fit in with modern lifestyles and a real opportunity lies with the potential to develop the semi basement to the rear into further living space.

A few steps down from the road, through the front garden and the front door opens up into an inviting hallway. There is a through lounge diner and separate kitchen off the hallway. This could be opened up to create an open kitchen diner if you choose. From the dining room window you can see across the houses to the to the river. The kitchen has some fitted cupboards and space for an oven and fridge .

Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms with 2 good sized doubles and a single bedroom. The main bedroom has a feature bay window and built in wardrobes along one main wall. The second bedroom has a built in wardrobe and views across to the river as well. The bathroom has a fitted shower cubicle but there is room for a bath to be refitted if preferred.

It is the semi basement which offers the chance for the new owner to really put their mark on the house and create their own home . With the slope of the site, the basement is accessed from the ground floor but it has full head height in the area to the rear of the house. The front part of the basement is not full head height but offers great space for storage as well to keep the main house free from clutter. The main part of the basement has plumbing and a sink fitted and the original downstairs cloakroom. It opens out directly into the courtyard garden as well. The new owner could create an office for those working from home or a further reception area, a studio, gym or just a place for hobbies and pastimes whilst keeping the upstairs a more formal space.

In addition to the front garden, there is a walled south facing garden with a combination of patio slabs and shingle. It is low maintenance but is big enough to create an outdoor living space for summer barbecues and relaxing with friends and family. There is side access to the garden as well.
