This established property presents with brick elevations, and a tiled roof. It has benefitted from some improvements over the years, with works including replacing the gas boiler and fitting UPVC double glazing and PVC roofline. Otherwise, the property requires updating and refurbishment, and is presented to the market at a price to allow potential purchasers the opportunity to personalise their own home. Instead of paying top money, and buying a home which has been finished to someone else's specification, which may not necessarily appeal to everyone, the purchaser of this home can finish it to their own tastes. This presents an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to 'put their own stamp' on a property, with potential to extend or re-model the existing accommodation (stp). Being located on the sought-after western side of town, featuring a particularly private rear garden, together with generous parking, and no chain, early viewing is strongly advised.
