Ivydene is a Victorian semi detached house that has undergone two extensions and had an extensive refurbishment under its current owners. This includes a substantial two storey rear extension, a single storey side extension, internal remodelling, modernising throughout, and landscaping of the gardens, including a workshop/home office, paved sitting areas, and block paved off street parking area. The resulting property has a combination period character with the convenience of a modern layout.

The rear extensions have rendered block cavity walls with slate roofs and blue engineering brick detailing. The single storey side extension features three large roof light windows filling the open plan kitchen dining room with natural light. There is double glazing throughout including fully glazed French doors that open onto the garden at the rear. Internally the property has a stylish finish with good quality fittings throughout.

Further afield the Cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are within easy access and provide further amenities.

To the side of the property is a large block paved parking area and behind a brick wall with brick columns and timber panel infills. A timber side gate opens into an Indian sandstone terrace area and leads the main door into the kitchen dining room.

Upon entering the kitchen dining room you are struck by the fantastic space and light the room offers. On the left there is an area for hanging coats with a fitted bench and integrated cupboards for storing shoes. The kitchen area is light and bright with a triple aspect. There are fully fitted pastel grey gloss cupboards and a woodblock worktop.
