_Property Description: Guide Price £230, 000 - £250, 000. _ For sale with no
onward chain this well presented and well maintained period property would
make a fabulous home, a perfect 'lock up and leave' or a great investment
opportunity. Built in the Victorian era and converted into a house in the late
90's, the property has lovely high ceilings giving a feeling of space and the
bedrooms are well proportioned.
From the courtyard garden the front door opens into a hallway which feels
spacious and has under stair storage plus a downstairs cloakroom. Off the hall
is light filled living room with quality wood effect flooring and windows to
the front and back. The painted wooden French doors that open out to the
garden enhance this room and with the high ceilings, indicative of this
period, create a room with a wonderfully airy feel. The galley kitchen is off
the living room and has an array of fitted units, an electric oven, electric
hob and plumbing for a washing machine.
The two well proportioned double bedrooms both have built in storage. The
front bedroom and the landing window both look out over the Grade II listed
buildings to the south with the country side beyond. The bathroom has a bath
with shower over and there is a good - sized airing cupboard that is accessed
from the landing. The loft area is large with a ceiling hatch in the landing
and there is the potential to extend into this already part - boarded space,
