Our clients have lived at 71 Hillside Avenue for over three decades, during which time they have made many improvements to the property that include a conservatory, that is open plan to the kitchen and dining room and makes an excellent vantage point to survey the results of their passion for gardening. Other improvements include the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, a brick paved driveway, double glazing, a boarded loft and solar panels so that this home is so efficient that it produces an income from electricity generation.

The property is entered via a double glazed front door, under a canopy porch, which opens to a central hallway off which part glazed doors radiate off to the principal ground floor rooms ensuring natural light filters through the house.
