Property description

Due to its close proximity to the town centre, public transport and local amenities, this property would ideally suit anyone retiring who would benefit from the convenient location or perhaps downsizing from a similar aged property. The house is located towards the far end of Albert Road in a quiet spot and not overlooked from the front so has an open feel. The pathway leading down to the riverside walks is within easy reach so would suit anyone requiring dog walks. There is a GOOD-SIZED TIMBER GARAGE/WORKSHOP providing plenty of storage or hobby space in the rear garden and, although now expired, PLANNING CONSENT FOR A REAR EXTENSION was previously granted.

The house is set back from the road by a LOW MAINTENANCE FRONT GARDEN laid to paving and fully enclosed by traditional stone walling with a pedestrian gate from the pavement. There is a flower bed planted with bulbs and trees and a paved pathway bordered by perennials leads around the side of the property where there is an area laid to stone pebbles.  A concrete pathway to the other side leads around the side of the property giving access to the rear garden and paving leads to the obscure glazed wooden front door with traditional red brick archway feature and obscure glazed panel over opening to:

Accessed via a pathway to the side of the property and through patio doors in the dining room, the garden, which benefits from a good deal of privacy, is fully enclosed by traditional red brick walling and stone walling/fencing. Laid mainly to low maintenance paving, there are borders well stocked with a variety of flowering plants, herbs, evergreens and shrubs, including a Salix tree and fushcia.
