St Cristpin, Butts Croft, Alrewas, DE13

Enjoying a tranquil canalside setting in the heart of this desirable village is St Cristpin, a detached three bedroom bungalow offered with the benefit of no upward chain. Residing within the secluded private cul de sac of Butts Croft, this generously proportioned detached home offers two reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside a well tended and secluded corner plot with wrap around gardens and a double garage. The gardens lead directly up to the edge of the canal, affording delightful views and the potential for a private mooring (subject to relevant licencing).

The property has been subject to water damage (covered by home insurance) and as a result presents a blank canvas and plenty of scope to remodel and upgrade the interiors, requiring immediate works including plumbing, wiring and internal fittings. Due to the current condition of the property, obtaining funding to purchase via a mortgage would not qualify under lending criteria.

Our vendor has advised that if funding is required by a proceedable buyer, they will install basic kitchen fittings (sink, worktop and cooker) to ensure the property is mortgageable. We advise all interested parties to investigate prior to viewing/placing an offer forward on the property. If you require any further clarification, please call and discuss further with one of our sales negotiators.
