EXTERNALLY

The property is situated on a corner plot and believed to have been built by the owner of the construction company who built the well known row of late Victorian homes on the Westlands.
The property has 2 entrances on the side and front. The formal entrance to the front has a well maintained gravel garden with steps leading into entrance hall.

Courtyard with car standing for at least 1 vehicle with the potential to extend further. Substantial shed with uPVC door and additional car standing to the side of the property also. With some slight conversion there would be the ability to create multiple vehicle access to the rear if this was important to the new owners.
