Description: 12 Western Road is a Victorian semi-detached house with attractive external elevations of brick beneath a slate tiled roof and double glazing throughout. The property has been in the same ownership for the last 38 years and during this time has been a much loved and well-maintained home. The house is well presented throughout, yet offers scope for some general updating, if required, and benefits from providing light and well-proportioned accommodation of approximately 1007sq.ft/94sq.m, as well as having a good-sized private garden.
Arranged over two floors the accommodation includes on the ground floor an entrance porch leading to a well-proportioned sitting room with a large window overlooking the front garden and an attractive feature fireplace. A door leads to a hall with stairs to the first floor and a door to the dining room, which has exposed floorboards, a feature fireplace, a glazed door leading out to the garden and is open to the kitchen, which has a range of shaker style wall and base units with solid wood worksurfaces, window to the side, and opening to the utility room, which gives an aspect of the garden. There is a downstairs wc and a useful utility area with space for appliances and a door leading out to the garden. On the first floor there is a spacious landing leading to three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) and a well-appointed shower room.
Outside, to the front of the property is a pretty front garden with mature shrubs, a brick wall with attractive wrought iron railings and gates, and a path leading to a side gate giving access to the rear garden. There is scope to create off road parking, if required, as many of the neighbouring properties have done.
The well established rear garden is a real feature of the property and has an abundance of mature shrubs and plants. There are areas of terracing, lawn and the garden is bordered with mature hedging and shrubs. There is also a shed and greenhouse.
