Literally round the corner are the National Botanic Gardens, regular bus links to the city about 15 minutes away, and a host of amenities generally, including schools and restaurants.

Apart from having location in its favour, 7 Daneswell Road offers family-sized accommodation laid out over an estimated 114sq m (1,237sq ft) that includes a large kitchen-breakfastroom extension carried out by the current owners.

Another favourable factor here is that the asking price has been reduced from 875,000 to 825,000.

Living space is generous, with a layout conforming to that of the typical, early 20th century suburban house, and with original features such as the hardwood floors and timber-surround, tiled fireplaces in many principal rooms.

The long entrance hall has a door leading to a guest cloakroom with tiled floor. Two formal reception rooms interconnect via the original, sliding, panelled double doors and when opened fully, make for a party-sized entertaining space.

There is also plenty of allday, natural light, from the bay window to the front, meeting with that streaming through full-height doubleglazed doors onto the westfacing garden. The fully fitted kitchen opens directly to the conservatory-style breakfast room, which has extensive glazing and French doors to the garden.

Upstairs are the four bedrooms, two of which retain tiled fireplaces. The bathroom is tiled. A Stira ladder gives access to the attic.

The rear garden . . . also accessed from the side . . . is some 15 metres (45 feet) in length. It includes a patio area, lawn and potting shed.
