31 Bleachfield Road is a very attractive semi-detached cottage within easy walking distance of the town centre and conveniently situated near both the Primary and Secondary Schools. Set well back from the road, there is a mature low maintenance walled front garden, with side access to a delightful fully enclosed mature rear garden which gets the sun for most of the day. The accommodation is bright and very spacious, having been thoughtfully modernised and extended - with potential for further extension if required - decorated throughout in pleasant tones and with absolutely lovely views to the rear taking in the surrounding countryside.
