GUIDE PRICE £800,000 - £835,000. Located on a popular St. James residential street in a quiet but equally convenient location for good access to the town centre, a three bedroom, three storey, halls adjoining, period property with two off road parking spaces to the front and a surprisingly large and well stocked rear garden to the rear. This ultimately backs onto woodland and allotments at the rear and has an especially pleasing ambience given its still central location. The property originally enjoyed four bedrooms and a smaller bathroom and we have no doubt that, subject to permissions being obtainable, the property could be returned to its original four bedrooms should a new owner require it. The house is maintained to a high standard with a number of period features and offers good access to two main line railway stations, a number of highly regarded schools and the recently refurbished Grosvenor & Hilbert Park.
