Built in the 1920’s with a substantial extension added around 20 years ago, this well-located property extends to 2,591 sq ft, with render and brick elevations with decorative timber work under a peg tiled roof with part double glazing and oil-fired central heating.

The property has now reached the point of requiring complete refurbishment and modernisation offering an exciting opportunity for a buyer to re-configure and extend further subject to obtain the necessary planning consents.
