We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive. period, double fronted semi detached home forming one half of a pair of Victorian properties originally constructed by the Duke of Rutland's estate around the mid 1800s. Occupying a delightful, established and generous plot the property overlooks allotments at the rear and the Jubilee Green to front as well as benefitting from a southerly aspect to the side which, subject to consents, could offer scope to significantly expand the accommodation further.
The property offers accommodation comprising an initial entrance hall leading through into two ground floor receptions with a kitchen at the rear and ground floor bathroom off while, to the first floor, are two double bedrooms. The property offers gas central heating and overall is likely to require a general program of modernisation based on today's requirements but provides a fantastic blank canvas to create a delightful home within a particularly attractive area of the village.
The gardens run to three sides and are well maintained, benefitting from a gated driveway and a pleasant aspect.
The property is offered to the market with no upward chain and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the current accommodation but also the onward potential.
