"It's hard not to be seduced by this amazing property - character just oozes out of it and you're transported back to a different era with hints of "upstairs, downstairs".
Internally the surprises continue - 4 well proportioned bedrooms, 3 well proportioned reception rooms plus a two room basement with access to the rear garden/parking area.
The reception and kitchen layout would benefit from some reconfiguration to suit modern tastes and provide a proper, usable kitchen but you'd ideally like to be sympathetic and retain as much of that character as possible. An additional bathroom would also be welcome but, at over 1,800 sq ft, I'm sure you could find room for an ensuite or entry level WC perhaps.
It benefits from uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating and externally there is access to the rear garden, via a shared laneway, which adjoing properties have converted into offstreet parking areas to add value and practicality to the property.
This is a project for experienced property developers or builders only as there are remedial works required to stabilise the front of the property and make it mortgageable so offers are neccesarily restricted to CASH BUYERS ONLY. A full and detailed structural report is available upon request.

SPECIAL NOTICE

This property will require full renovation and modernisation. A full structural report is available upon request which indicates some remedial works that may be required to the property in order to be mortgageable. It is not considered mortgageable in present condition and therefore is strictly available to CASH BUYERS ONLY. The asking price is a guide price to allow for the remedial works plus renovation costs while still providing a margin for added value and therefore offers are invited in that region.

Tenure

Freehold
