OVERVIEW
Having been a much loved home for over 50 years, this two bedroom cottage style property is ready to be rediscovered by new owners and made their own. Much more than first appears, the property has a lovely bay windowed sitting room and a separate living/dining space with access to the garden. The kitchen has excellent scope to improve and there is an adjoining utility. Both the first floor bedrooms are doubles with one accessing the balcony which has lovely views over tree tops towards distant hills. It is outside the property really surprises - the long rear garden has many species and collectors plants. Pathways cut between deep borders and there is a lower allotment space and garden sheds. Some improvements have been made in recent years with redecoration in four rooms and the installation of renewable energy sources, however there is wonderful potential to personalise and create a forever home.

ACCOMMODATION
A forecourted garden with fig tree and planting offers privacy from Helmside Road and steps lead up to the wooden front door. Once in the hallway, the character and potential of the property begins to reveal itself. Stairs lead to the first floor and period doors to the two reception rooms. Moving towards the rear of the house and into the living/dining room, there are the first glimpses of the garden that lies beyond. An alcove cupboard provides space for china and ornaments and there is access to the kitchen and sitting room.

-
An entrance beneath the stairs has been opened connecting the two living spaces and there are nooks and crannies for storage. The bay windowed sitting room has an air of elegance with a floral Sanderson print wallpaper and a slate style fire place. The kitchen is at the rear of the house. The gas hob is fitted to central base units and there is tiling to the walls and a sink unit. The adjoining utility has access to the garden and has space for a fridge freezer. The hot water cylinder/thermal heat store is in the utility room.

-
The first floor offers two double bedrooms and a shower room. The larger of the two bedrooms is at the front with pleasant outlook towards The Helm. An open cupboard over the stairs provides valuable storage. The second bedroom is at the rear and has access to the balcony. Having metal railing and grille floor, the balcony has a treetop view over the railway towards distant Scout Scar. The shower room has a three piece suite along with plumbing for a washing machine, a double built-in shelved cupboard and mirrored tiles.

-
Outside, the property offers much than expected. The small garden at the front has a fig tree and ferns and there is a path at the side into the rear garden. By the house and beneath the balcony is a lovely covered space with wisteria scrambling up and over the railings of the balcony. A central path leads between deep borders giving a secret hidden garden feel especially as the garden slopes away from the house, much if it isn’t immediately visible. Several of the beds have unusual and specimen plants and trees and shrubs provide a framework. A tiered allotment is perfect for produce and there is a lower patio and two garden sheds.
