Location

The house is located at the Chignal Road end of Melbourne Avenue, within walking distance of the well thought of Lawford Mead primary School, as well as shops, takeaways and parks. Popular countryside walks or bike rides are within easy reach by heading out to the Chignals, Mashbury and Roxwell.

Overview of accommodation

A large Entrance Porch has a door into the garage and a door into the Entrance Hall, which in turn has doors to the Downstairs Toilet, Lounge and Dining Room. The Lounge is dual aspect with windows out to two sides of the garden as well as door leading outside.

The Dining Room leads into the Kitchen, which also has a door out to the Garden. Most people will want to refit the Kitchen and whilst doing so (subject to building regulations) you may want to 'knock through' into the Dining Room to create a larger space.

On the first floor are the four Bedrooms and Bathroom. Bedrooms One and Two are good sized doubles with Bedrooms Three and Four being small doubles or great sized singles. The Bathroom is functional but dated and you are likely to want to re-fit it.

Outside, the Rear Garden wraps around three sides of the house and has a gate leading out to the front. With the amount of space, the house seems to lend itself to being extended but we haven't looked into the likelihood of obtaining planning permission so you should make your own enquiries.

To the front their is a driveway for a number of cars and a garage which is accessed via an up and over door.

Yes, this property does need work but our feeling is that it offers a chance to buy a good sized house at a price point that you won't often find a detached property, which you can then decorate and modernise to your own personal taste.
