The Property Believed to date back to the Victorian era, this superb period terraced home of particularly grand design has brick-faced walls with pitched timber roof construction covered in slate tiles. The property sits in an elevated position above the road with large bay window to the siting room with the accommodation upstairs being considerably wider due to being built over the passageway. The property has been separated around 50 years ago to provide a three-bedroom dwelling with attached separate two-bedroom annexed cottage (92a), ideal for merging families, rental or holiday cottage use and could be reverted back to its original format as one complete property by removal of the blocked doorways to ground and first floor (subject to planning). Heating is provided by two separate gas boilers which are serviced on a regular basis and the windows to the front have been recently replaced only around five years ago, with brand new timber-framed sash with double-glazed panes and are in superb condition, with the rear benefitting from uPVC double-glazed windows and doors.
