LOFT: Recently insulated, the loft is semi-boarded and is accessed by a retractable aluminium ladder. In the loft is a brand new boiler to keep it up out of the way. As with the house next door, there are possibilities to convert the loft into another bedroom, subject to planning and building regulations, as there is plenty of space.
***BACK GARDEN***
41ft (12.5m) long, neat and low maintenance garden that is very private. The garden has been recently landscaped and now includes a large patio for table/chairs using Victorian paving stones, in keeping with the period of the house. There is also a smaller patio built specifically for BBQs, gravelled edges, a rockery with a range of plants and shrubs, and shed. The fencing has been replaced recently with solid concrete posts and good quality panels, and the rear wall is a 7ft+ traditional style stone wall. There is scope here for extensions to the side and rear of the house subject to planning and building regulations. However, other houses in the street have done this to add, for example, a breakfast room, extended kitchen, playroom, or garden room/conservatory.
***ENERGY PERFORMANCE & HEATING BILLS***
In February of 2014 a brand new top-of-the-range Worcester Bosch Greenstar 29CDi condensing boiler with a full 7-day Programmable Wireless Thermostat was installed at the property which comes with a 5 year warranty that covers the costs of breakdowns and repairs. At the same time a ‘Magnetron’ was fitted that collects debris running through the central heating system, thus further prolonging the life of the boiler and minimisation of repairs. In the last few years the loft has been fully insulated, the central heating system replaced, the downstairs made open plan and double glazed windows including double French doors added throughout the house. Extra insulation is provided by its mid-terrace position.
