Beautifully presented by the current owners, Ivy Villas is double-glazed on the ground floor and loft, retains a range of period features as well as charming fireplaces, decorative tiled and wood floors, a well-fitted kitchen and a easy to maintain rear garden.

As you approach the property, you are greeted by a gravel front garden bound by a low brick wall and metal railings, with a paved path to the part glazed front door. As you enter, you step into elegant entrance hall with a superb, colourful tiled floor and space to hang coats. A further door, which has a lovely part mosaic tiled glass window above, leads you into the bright dining room. As well as the central ceiling rose and wood floor, the centrepiece of the room is the brick fireplace that has been repurposed as a wine rack, with an inglenook above. There are fitted shelves either side of the chimney breast, with storage below, and attractive French doors onto the terrace. Carpeted stairs take you to the first floor, beneath which is a large storage cupboard.

Off the dining room and overlooking the front of the property is the delightful living room with a wood floor and a wonderfully deep bay window that allows the light to flood into this room. The fireplace has been turned into shelving with space for a TV above, and there is shelving with a storage cupboard below to the left of the chimney breast.

At the rear of the property is the well-proportioned part tiled kitchen, also with a tiled floor and a glazed door into the garden.
