The Property - This detached home, thought to have been built in the 1960's, has been in the same ownership for nearly 50 years. It is now in need of updating and has a good sized plot, with the rear garden enjoying a westerly aspect. A number of the neighbouring properties have been redeveloped and enlarged so we presume obtaining planning permission would be relatively straight forward.

The Accommodation - Large open porch with the front door leading into a hall with staircase off. On the left is the dual aspect sitting room with a stone open fireplace. A door leads to the kitchen beyond, which can also be accessed from the hall. There are a range of units including a pantry and there are double doors to the rear garden. An arch leads through to the dining room at the rear which has a quadruple aspect including sliding doors to the garden. Off the kitchen is a utility room with an external door, a shower room and a sliding door to the garage. On the first floor landing there is an airing cupboard and an access hatch to the boarded loft space which has a ladder and light. The main bedroom is at the front and is dual aspect with a built-in wardrobe. Next door the third bedroom has a shelved cupboard and further shelving over the stair bulk-head. Bedroom two at the rear is again dual aspect with a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom has a pink suite.

Outside - Twin gates open to a block paved drive with parking for several cars. There is a hedge to the roadside and an area of lawn with borders and shrubs. There is access to both sides of the house, with a covered area to the right, which leads to a paved area adjoining the rear of the house. There are steps and a ramp down to the garden which has a lawn, shrub borders and a summerhouse. Through a rose covered arch is a vegetable garden with raised beds, a fruit cage, greenhouse and a shed. There is a gate providing access onto Foxley Road.

General - All mains services are connected. Central heating is provided by a gas fired boiler. Council Tax Band E - £2,660.79 payable for 2024/25. EPC rating band E - 43.
