3 Bedroom Semi-Detached For Sale

Property description

DESCRIPTION

This lovely semi detached cottage was built in approximately 1898 and offers individual and spacious accommodation with potential to improve and refurbish. The cottage is situated in a lane location on a large plot with a long driveway to the front with off road parking for at least six cars! There is a garage to the side and beyond this an area of decking and patio before leading onto the secluded rear garden. The cottage has three double bedrooms, one of which is on the second floor and has oil central heating via radiators. An area to the rear which is currently a workshop area could open up lots of possibilities! We recommend your earliest viewing.
