Beyond this living room is the third and final double bedroom which has a built in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. The property also has an enclosed lower courtyard accessed from the kitchen which has access into a large outdoor store room or workshop.

While this property sits in a secluded location it is also in easy reach of all the amenities on Gloucester Road.

Vendor's comments - "We are the only house on this cul-de-sac and comparable house prices would be Egerton rd and Cornwall rd, either side of us. The school next door is only busy at drop-off and pick-up times, and the main school and church car park on the opposite side of St Bonaventure’s Church, not in conjunction with our road. The traffic past our house is only for the staff car park. The kids can cycle outside the house at weekends and we hardly ever need to find parking elsewhere. Street parking right outside for two cars and one motorbike, quite unusual in this part of town. The house is suitable for small families (ideal for 3-4 people), as retirement downsizing, investment opportunity and rental. We only move because our family of five is outgrowing the house."
