This end terraced villa would be a comfortable and easily managed home for purchasers of all age groups. It was built in the mid 1950's and boasts a classic internal layout (70sqm).

Gas central heating is complemented by replacement double glazing. External insulation and render have been added to enhance the building's thermal performance. The enclosed garden to the front and rear would prove easy to maintain. On-street parking is available but there is potential to create a driveway (subject to consent).
