Description
44 The Uplands offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a house in a quiet no through road section of West Common. The property is offered to the market for the first time since it was built in 1968 when it was described in the original sales particulars as "an imposing detached four bedroom house with exceptionally wide frontage".
The house will ideally suit those buyers looking for a superior plot to design and build their new dream home as many other owners have done nearby, taking advantage of the approximately 70 foot plot width, which allows for a very substantial family home to be erected, subject to planning consents being granted. The house is set well back from the road, behind an extensive parking area and the overall plot length is approximately 220 feet.
The house enjoys an abundance of natural light through extensive glazing and presently offers four bedroom and two bathrooms on the first floor with hallway, cloakroom, sitting and dining rooms, kitchen and utility rooms on the ground floor. There is an integral double garage as well as extensive parking on the driveway to front.
In the rear garden the original landscaping carried out by the owners has matured to produce a number of lovely trees and shrubs and offers great privacy. Although the hedging has encroached on the extensive lawn to a degree, the garden remains an impressive feature of the property and would require very little cutting back to restore it to it's former glories.
