About
THE DETAILED ACCOMMODATION IS AS FOLLOWS: (Dimensions are approximate) An impressive three storey Victorian suburban bay fronted semi-detached property which has been converted into four self-contained flats.
The house has been adapted to meet HMO regulations but also retains many period features and charm to include high ceilings, marble and cast-iron fireplaces and floor to ceiling double doors.
There is also the added benefit of a good size, low maintenance south facing rear garden with original stone walls, expansive workshop with power and light and separate office with cloakroom.
The property boasts a substantial layout spread over three floors and has been maintained and improved by the landlord over the years to meet regulatory requirements and maximise comfort and functionality however, there is also scope for refurbishment or reconfiguration to suit the purchaser.
The property is ideally situated in a highly sought after conservation area, with excellent transport links into the city centre and within close walking distance to local shops and amenities as well as green areas.
This characteristic property is an excellent investment opportunity with 2 long term tenants in situ and 2 vacant flats which are ready to let.
With its potential and prime location an early viewing is highly recommended. DETAILS Approached via pedestrian access, low maintenance front garden.
