Location & Description

Representing the sort of property that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, Crossways comprises a traditionally constructed, interwar bungalow standing within most generous gardens in a part of town which is highly sought after.

Reasons that the location is so favoured include the fact that one is within literally minutes walk of many of the town’s facilities, yet the setting of the property is an architecturally varied short cul-de-sac which therefore does not have any through traffic.

Moreover, the lawned gardens extend to approaching one third of an acre, and these gardens are adorned with many fine shrubs and trees.

Crossways was cleverly extended some years ago, the extension projecting rearwards and enjoying a lovely southerly aspect over a paved courtyard and the adjoining gardens. This bedroom/shower room extension also enjoys direct external access, and could well suit a family where one of the members wanted partially self-contained accommodation.

Decor and fittings are somewhat dated, and both kitchen and bathrooms need upgrading and refurbishment. However, as outlined earlier both location and garden size are exceptional.

Positioned close to the front boundary is a generously proportioned and substantial timber garage.

Enquiries have been made over the past year with the Local Planning Authority, and it is not out of the question that an additional property could be constructed within the grounds. However, a decision has been made to offer the property as a whole, as existing, more particular because the chances of acquiring such a property are becoming increasingly rare.
