Perfect for those looking to create a bolthole away from the city! A 1 bedroom property in need of completer restoration. No chain!
Details
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a bijou period property that is ready for someone with vision, energy and a good builder on speed dial. Much of the hard and unglamorous work has already begun, with the property stripped back to allow a new owner to plan the layout, services and finish exactly as they wish. Properties like this rarely reach the open market in this condition, and for the right buyer this is the chance to create something truly individual rather than inherit somebody else’s taste.
Inside, the ground floor is arranged as two rooms, generous in feel with an original fireplace surround retained and set aside for reinstatement. The rear room on the side lends itself beautifully to a kitchen.
Moving upstairs, the staircase rises to a landing which opens into a spacious double bedroom with a window to the side elevation drawing in good natural light. A shower enclosure is already in place, with clear scope to form a properly enclosed bathroom or to reconfigure the first floor entirely, subject to the usual consents. The proportions up here are inviting and, once plastered, insulated and finished, this will make a lovely private retreat.
Services: Mains water & Drainage. No electric
Agents note: Cash Buyers Only and there is no parking with the property.

As well as the High Street retailers and delightful boutique shops, other amenities include a train station, schools, hospital, cinema, museums, cafés, bars, restaurants, leisure centre and the Tarka Tennis Centre.
