17 ALLISON GARDENS

One of the attractions of this detached Westerman built bungalow is the open view onto Ruskin Avenue that it enjoys at the front. On top of this, the kitchen has been re-fitted with a good range of cupboards and integrated appliances and there is a new suite in the fully tiled shower room. The remaining accommodation includes a triple aspect living room and three bedrooms, one of which may be used as a small dining room or study. A long drive to the side of the bungalow leads to a single garage and a low maintenance garden to the rear. The bungalow has been improved by the installation of a replacement gas boiler and has been neutrally decorated. Double glazed windows are matched with uPVC soffits, facias and gables. Allison Gardens is part of a small area of similar properties and lies on the border of Beeston and Chilwell. There are a number of bus stops nearby and the centre of Beeston is just a few minutes away by car. There is an excellent variety of national chains and local independent shops, numerous cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and the recently opened Arc Cinema. The even larger shopping and leisure facilities of Nottingham centre are easily reached by taking the Tram from nearby stops. The property will be sold with vacant possession and no upward chain and we recommend an appointment to view. The Energy Performance Rating is D - 55.
