The property is accessed via a panelled door and stained glass above into an entrance lobby with fitted cabinetry, beyond, a WC with similar cabinetry and a tiled floor. The main sitting room has a very wide bay sash window and staircase rising to the bedroom accommodation. To the rear of the property, via the sitting room are two similarly sized rooms, a snug to the left, with glazed double doors to a small decked terrace with Alexandra Gardens immediately beyond, and a study which has a double glazed window looking out to a further decked terrace. There is a dual aspect galley style kitchen which comprises stone coloured cabinetry, integrated fridge, stainless steel oven and induction hob with a half glazed door to the rear, beyond which is a private, decked courtyard terrace.

At first floor are three bedrooms including the main bay fronted double bedroom which also benefits from an en suite shower room with white sanitaryware.

The property has a gas fired central heating system in situ and the accommodation can be seen in greater detail on the attached floor plans.

Outside the property is a large gravelled frontage which currently provides parking for numerous vehicles and enclosed by a white picket fence, and if required, the gravel frontage could lend itself to being a larger garden instead. There is also a single brick built garage with access direct onto Carlyle Road.
