Agents Note - In our opinion this property is an ideal investment as a safe 'lock up and leave' investment having successfully been rented as an 'Airbnb' in periods when the current owners have been staying abroad. Further details upon request. There is currently on-street parking available, however, the current vendors rent a garage across the street. While this is not guaranteed, there may be a potential opportunity to take over the garage lease, subject to the landlord's approval.
