DESCRIPTION
An exciting opportunity to acquire a handsome period property which requires general updating and improvement but offers intending purchasers the opportunity to create an exceptionally comfortable home of generous proportions with accommodation totalling circa. 1187 sq feet. There is also an element of structural repair required, two chimney breasts have been removed without the necessary support being installed. The services of a well regarded structural engineer have been commissioned and structural drawings together with a quotation from a builder for the necessary repairs (approx. £6150) are available for prospective purchasers. The property is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.
The house enjoys an east/west orientation and as such enjoys a good level of light throughout the very comfortably proportioned accommodation which is currently arranged to provide a welcoming entrance hall, sitting room which is open plan to the dining room and a generous kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, a study, a full bathroom (which has been updated) and a cloakroom. There is a further double bedroom on the second floor.
To the rear of the house there is a surprisingly private west facing garden.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
