DESCRIPTION
57 Rye Close comprises a mid terraced house that has been in the same ownership since the early 1990s. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with 2 reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor, with a large principal bedroom, shower room and second double bedroom on the first floor. The current owners carried out further alterations to create a lovely principal bedroom and en suite shower room on the second floor with an impressive Cabrio velux balcony to take advantage of the lovely southerly aspect out over the adjoining lake. The property also benefits from ample parking to the front and a good sized level garden to the rear, with separate passageway access to the side. The property would benefit from some updating and improvement.
