Property description

A rare opportunity to purchase this attractive two double bedroom detached home occupying a surprisingly spacious, private plot with attractive cottage style gardens extending to all sides of the property whilst enjoying a pleasant position within this highly Old Town Crescent, just a short walk to the historic High Street with the mainline railway station beyond providing fast direct links to Kings Cross in approximately 23 minutes.

The generous plot provides ample scope to extend (subject to planning) whilst in our opinion the property also represents an ideal opportunity for discerning purchasers looking to downsize to a smaller property whilst retaining a detached home with an excellent degree of privacy.

In full the accommodation comprises an entrance porch, reception hallway, downstairs cloakroom/wc, generous open-plan lounge, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, first floor landing leading to two double bedrooms and a family shower room. Further practical benefits include a sizeable single garage with adjoining garden store and a long block paved driveway providing off-road parking for at least two vehicles.

The property is offered for sale chain free and viewing is highly recommended.
