Once updated, it has the potential to provide a large family home. An ideal opportunity for owner occupiers, DIY enthusiasts or investors seeking a refurbishment project.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout and gas central heating.
The property is of timber frame construction with evidence of retrospective cavity wall insulation, which may restrict the availability of mortgage lending.
