Enjoying a sought-after location, this spacious three bedroom character family house benefits from replacement double-glazing and a generous westerly garden. It now requires comprehensive modernisation, presenting a desirable blank canvas opportunity to keen owner-occupiers as well as professional buyers. Shelford Road runs between Locksway Road and Warren Avenue, No. 65 being on the west side a short distance from the latter. Some three-quarters of a mile only from Langstone Harbour foreshore, and with good access in and out of the city, this is a pleasant and very popular residential address within comfortable reach of a wide range of public amenities. The house itself forms part of a terrace of similar properties and has brick elevations under a replacement slate roof (a noteworthy asset), the attractive facade incorporating bold splay bay window, canopied front door and shared underpass. It stands behind a shallow forecourt, whilst to the rear is a 45ft garden with sunny westerly aspect. As stated, the house is in need of a programme of refurbishment throughout, now offering ample scope for an incoming owner to implement their own ideas and tastes, to create a home of considerable appeal. Full particulars are given as follows and early enquiry is urged:
