Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, with potential to reconfigure or improve the layout, subject to requirements.

The property would benefit from some cleaning and fixing throughout, allowing purchasers to refurbish to a modern standard and significantly improve both its condition and overall market value.

Outside, the property offers both front and rear gardens, with further possibilities for landscaping or extensions, subject to the necessary consents.
