Details:

Normally to get this space you would need to stretch to buying a larger detached property. This property offers that space and with a very high specification but at a very much lower price tag. Additionally, this house provides the privacy of a remote country location but set in the city, indeed within a few minutes walk from Fortwilliam Golf Course. This unique end of drive semi has probably the best location in this cul-de-sac private driveway and must not be confused with other properties on the front of Thorburn Road, which have regular passing traffic and pedestrians and sit back to back and face to face with other houses. This house, number 28, has no house behind or to the side or to the front directly looking onto it. Sitting looking out into the back garden, you cannot even see a house behind or to the side. Locations like this are a rare find in a city. Early viewing is advised.

All the major, expensive and dirty works have been recently completed, leaving only decorating to suit your personal taste. A satellite dish is cabled to all bedrooms and living room. Halogen security lighting with sensors is installed on the front, side and rear of the property and mains-wired smoke detectors are fitted to ground, first and second floor levels of the house. The oil central heating system has just been upgraded with a new high efficiency "Firebird Enviromax" condensing boiler with new programmer and thermostat. The  pipework linking the boiler and hot water cylinder has been replaced with larger pipework to improve the flow-rate of hot water to the cylinder for the benefit of the high pressure pump shower or just for bath filling. Window blinds, curtains and poles are included in sale.
