An exceptional opportunity to acquire a Victorian semi-detached cottage in good condition having been kept up to standard over the years but now offering potential for either extension or possible redevelopment in the adjoining garden, subject to planning permission. No onward chain.
Description - An opportunity to acquire a substantial semi-detached Victorian Cottage with scope for extension or possible erection of an alternative dwelling in the garden to the side. Conveniently situated with road access on the A229 and from Iden Crescent. The property offers huge scope for redevelopment. Currently fitted with gas-fired central heating, refurbished kitchen and still retaining the original Victorian ducks nest fireplaces throughout. It is a rare opportunity to acquire an unspoilt property such as this. We highly recommend an internal inspection.
