Detached House
DRAFT DETAILS ONLY.
The Junction is a cul-de-sac located off Aldridge Close and number 12 is the last property where the road terminates. It enjoys lengthy canal side frontage to the Stourbridge arm of the Worcester and South Staffs Canal, and at a point where the waterways overflow creates a virtual pond and consequential stream within the garden. We are given to understand by the vendor who has owned the property for many years that there is no risk of flooding.
The waterside location attracts considerable wildlife, with a variety of birds including Kingfishers regularly in attendance. T he garden is extremely secluded, and also has potential. There is large workshop garage with loft over and further, fairly historic attached outbuildings. They all have potential and space exists for extensions to the house as well as the inclusion of a conservatory.
