Vendor comments:

" We bought this house because we loved its history and its fantastic location. Clarendon Park is a wonderful area; there is a real sense of community and the location is perfect for accessing the vibrant Queens Road. We have renovated the house over the last 10 years into a modern family home whilst retaining many of the 1920s original features. We have changed the layout to create a kitchen diner which provides a more social space. We have converted the loft to provide an additional two double bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition, over the last 10 years we have installed a new central heating system and a new boiler, new wiring, UPVC windows (sash windows at the front), a log burner, reroofed the front bay and installed bespoke wooden shutters in the front sitting room.
