Call now to register and book your viewing time for Saturday 17th May.


Subject to Section 157.

3 bedroom home situated in a wonderful location close to the centre of this historic and sought after town and a short walk to the train station.

The property was bought in 1983 under the then 'Right to Buy' scheme and has been in the stewardship of that owner until now.

In such a great location, the property is well priced as it requires updating internally and as such, it would ideally suit those seeking to create their own home space.

This is a fixer upper and as such, any potential buyer should budget for works after purchase.

Currently the house is configured as a spacious 3 bedroom with large sitting room, kitchen/diner and to the rear a shower room.

Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, all of a good size.
The garden to the rear can be accessed across the neighbours and features a high wall to the rear. Interestingly, the neighbours have removed part of their rear wall to create parking, perhaps this is something for a new owner to consider, especially in this age of electric vehicles and access to charge points at home, a rarity in any village.
