The Property:
An exceptional semi-detached house with impressive family accommodation approaching 2200 ft². The house has benefitted from a comprehensive program of modernisation throughout and is presented impeccably. The ground floor is home to a lovely light entrance hall with traditional tiled floor and solid oak staircase which rises to the first and second floors. The drawing room is a beautifully proportioned room with a wood burning stove, column radiator and bay window. The rear of the house is given over to a magnificent kitchen/dining/living space. Perfect for convivial modern living and comprising over 700 ft² of space, the rear wall is almost entirely made up of sliding glass doors which open to access the glorious south facing garden. The space is made up of a family sitting area, spacious dining area and a kitchen which features a comprehensive range of contemporary units with integral appliances, twin oven, induction hob, steam oven and microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The utility room is a large space with a separate sink, boiler and hot water storage and space for appliances. The first floor is home to the impressive principal bedroom with accompanying en-suite shower room, both with views over the beautiful garden. There are two further bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom on this floor. The second floor has an impressive Velux window to the side, two further bedrooms and a shower room. Outside the property enjoys a generous driveway of Cotswold chippings and side access to the fabulous rear garden, which is an absolute joy; a generous south-facing landscaped area with two newly turfed lawned areas enveloped by beautifully stocked borders, home to specimen flowers and shrubs including alliums, salvias, hydrangeas, verbenas and echinops. A herringbone brick paved path meanders to the bottom of the garden whereon a sandstone patio sits beneath a timber pergola. A large, powered shed provides excellent storage.

The Location:

The city centre with its bars, restaurants and cultural and leisure facilities, including two theatres, cinema, cosmopolitan high street and renowned 'Square' are only a short walk away.

Agents Note:
As part of the sale of the property in October 2019 to the current owners, the previous owners required an overage clause be put in place. The clause lasts for 25 years from the October 2019 sale. This clause was required as the previous owners considered that, due to the rear garden side access, there is the ability to build a separate house in the rear garden. The clause requires that any uplift in value from building a separate house must be shared with the previous owners. It should be noted that the overage clause does not prevent the current and future owners from any alteration, extension or conversion of the current property. The overage clause also does not prevent the construction of a separate structure on the property which would be considered ancillary to the current property, e.g a garden office. Further details of the overage clause can be provided on request.
