The property

This is one of two unusual single storey properties in one of the city’s most favoured riverside locations. 15a forms part of a pair of modern homes tucked away behind the terrace of period houses on Saxon Road. With accommodation extending to nearly 750 SqFt the property offers excellent potential and, having formerly been a rental house (estimated rent £2300 per month), would benefit from some reconfiguration and renovation. One of the rooms was a sitting room and two of the bedrooms, with access to the garden, could easily be converted into everyday living space.

Outside

The property is approached along a shared driveway from Saxon Road opening to off-street private parking for two vehicles. A paved path leads to the front door. There is an enclosed front garden accessed via a timber gate. To the back of the house is a larger lawned garden offering secluded outdoor dining and relaxation space.
