The House...
A charming and most attractive bay fronted Victorian semi-detached home in the popular Gower Road, ideally located for the town centre and just a mile to the station. If you are a fan of period homes you’ll love wealth of archetypal character features that remain including high ceilings, original fireplaces, picture rails, exposed floorboards and internal panel doors.

The accommodation is typical in its layout with two formal reception rooms on the ground floor. The inviting sitting room has a bay window with bespoke plantation shutter blinds & attractive open fireplace being the focal point. The second reception room extends to an impressive 16ft and provides the option of a family or dining room. The kitchen lies off this room and boasts its own utility and leads to the cloakroom.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms (one front, one rear), which are both served by the spacious family bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

The entire second floor consists of the superb master bedroom (16ft x 15ft max) suite which offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion from the rest of the house. There is a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room.

Further attributes include gas central heating, sympathetic double glazing with some sash windows and neutral décor throughout. The house is offered for sale with no onward chain so a swift move is possible.

Step Outside...
The rear garden is an excellent size, extending to approximately 80ft. There is a large decked terrace immediately adjacent to the house, the perfect spot for al-fresco dining in the summer months. This leads seamlessly on to a large expanse of level lawn – ideal for children to play.

To the front is driveway parking for one car.

Scope/Potential...
In our opinion, there is scope to knock through and/or extend the kitchen to create large, open plan kitchen/dining/family room opening on to the garden. This would be subject to any necessary consents.
