*Foxhall Estate Agents* are delighted to offer for sale with no chain involved, a rare opportunity to purchase this three bedroom, double bay semi-detached house in the one of the most sought after locations on the Australian Estate.
The current owner has enjoyed living here since purchasing the property when it was brand new in 1955. The property is well presented, however, would benefit from upgrading, modernisation and offers a wealth of potential for further improvement and extension.
There is an easterly facing lounge, westerly facing dining room overlooking the rear garden and a southerly facing kitchen with the original pantry and outside coalhouse. The property also benefits from the solid oak flooring within the lounge, dining room and entrance hallway.
To the first floor are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, bathroom and a separate W.C.
At the front of the property there is a neat, block paved driveway providing off road parking for average size vehicles.
This property offers the unique benefit of having two garages. The first is adjacent to the property which has up and over doors at the front through to the rear of the garage allowing vehicular access through to a second detached garage/workshop. This has previously been used to accommodate a light aircraft!
The rear garden is in excess of 60ft and is unoverlooked from the rear, a further additional benefit of this property.
Summary Continued - Internally, the property benefits from a gas fired central heating system via modern replacement boiler, which we understand from the seller is less than 10 years old and is regularly serviced.
