The ground-floor property is an exciting blank canvas for the buyer to create a three-bedroom home, with planning permission and a building warrant already granted for change of use.

It is in shell condition (currently a main hall and two additional rooms) with stone walls and exposed beams, and it is ready for conversion into a modern home to be lived in or sold on.

3D images have been supplied to indicate what the layout of the home could look like after conversion.

First-floor flat: The flat has a private entrance to the side of the building, where stairs take you to a hall on the first floor, immediately setting the tone for the immaculate interiors to follow with crisp-white décor and a plush carpet.

The living room occupies a generous footprint, therefore offering plenty of space for configurations of lounge furniture, with French doors extending the space outside onto a good-sized balcony.

The living room is neutrally decorated and fitted with wood-styled flooring, and it flows openly into the kitchen, perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike.

The dual-aspect kitchen enjoys lovely views and is very well-appointed with a wide range of navy-blue cabinetry, a spacious wood-styled worktop, and mosaic-style splashback tiling.

A full complement of neatly integrated appliances comprises an oven, a gas hob, an extractor hood, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, whilst a separate utility room provides a discrete space for laundry appliances.

The flat’s three double bedrooms are spacious and airy, and all three continue the pristine presentation of the preceding accommodation with white décor and comfortable fitted carpets.

All three sleeping areas are fronted by southwest-facing dormer windows capturing sunny natural light.

The property accommodates two attractively appointed and chicly tiled washrooms: one shower room and one bathroom.

The former comprises a large shower enclosure, a basin set into vanity storage, and a WC, whilst the latter comes complete with a bath with an overhead rainfall shower, handset, and glazed screen, a vanity unit with a basin inset, and a WC.

The flat is kept warm by a gas central heating system and benefits from double glazed windows.

The spacious balcony leading off the living room provides an ideal outdoor space to relax, and it is perfect for morning coffee, and evening tipple, or an alfresco meal.

A parking permit can be obtained from the council to allow the flat owner to park in a nearby car park.
