Description of home: Surprisingly spacious and versatile residence in the Northbourne Conservation Area dating back to 1874. Originally a 2-bed cottage, the house benefits from many extensions and conversions carried out over a number of years, and can boast enclosed porch with double-glazing (the only one in the street), breakfast room or office on the ground floor, converted spacious attic which can be used as a playroom, another office, or occasional guestroom). The property also features a newly-installed heating system and Bosch boiler (2010), newly fitted traditional style kitchen with in-built appliances (2010), new roof (2003) and landscaped mature gardens. Dropped curb in front of the property allows for an easy conversion of the front-garden into parking space without planning consent (provided permeable surface materials are used).
