Glen Alva, at Galtrim Park, is a detached house built in the 1930's, and its somewhat plain exterior belies the attractive and comprehensive upgrade within. This includes the creation of a garden room, a remodelled kitchen, utility room and family bathroom, plus refurbishment and redecoration throughout.
The hall has featured pine dado rail and skirting boards, with hall floor, pine staircase and landing carpeted throughout in pale green. The sittingroom has a pretty bay window and an original fireplace framed in pastel coloured tiling, and large fitted shelving unit.
The room is decorated in shades of lemon and has a blonde cord-wool carpet.
The pine floored diningroom is extended into a garden room with sliding patio door giving lovely garden views.
A door off the diningroom leads to a green tiled utility room with extensive units and an adjoining toilet with tiled floor and large fitted wall shelves. The kitchen combines modern pine units with the original red quarry-tiled floor. Detailing includes a pine canopied extractor, corner hob, built in microwave, De Dietrich self-cleaning double oven, Frankie sink, integrated 'fridge-freezer and pull-out double-sided larder. Two side doors link the kitchen to both front and rear gardens.
Upstairs, the main bedroom, floored in pine, is decorated in pale blue and turquoise. There are modern fitted wardrobes. There is another double bedroom, and two single bedrooms.
The family bathroom with bath and Mira shower is completely tiled, decorated in shades of pale apricot and cream, and has a mirrored wall over the bath which creates a spacious feel. Outside the west-facing rear walled garden has an 'olde worlde' atmosphere, courtesy of an informal lawn fringed by masses of greenery, trees and flower border. There is a separate paved play area and a furnished patio with water feature.
The front garden has a pedestrian entrance with steps leading to a raised front lawn. There is no off-street parking , but permission has been obtained to provide car parking at the front of the house and for a front and rear extension.
