House For Sale £200,000
Dating back to 1891, Wheatsheaf Works was built for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. It was the largest footwear factory in the world at the time but the building was converted by Urban Rhythm Developments back in 2011 into 172 properties, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom properties. The building has been reconfigured with excellent attention to detail including the use of ornate decorative brickwork, arched feature windows and high ceilings throughout the whole development.
The accommodation, in brief, begins with the open plan living room/kitchen area which is accessed through french doors via the communal grounds with a pleasant front courtyard garden complemented with astro-turf grass and a seating area. Bright and airy, the living room is presented in excellent condition throughout and provides access to a stylishly appointed kitchen alongside providing space for relevant appliances and a four ring electric hob with concealed extractor fan. With high ceilings and two large double-glazed windows to the front aspect, the source of natural light floods the space on offer. On the ground floor is a generous double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes alongside a stylishly appointed three-piece family bathroom. To the second floor is a further bedroom that provides a pleasant outlook onto the communal grounds alongside a modern three-piece family bathroom. The property comes with allocated parking located in an underground and secure car park permitted for residents of the development only. Available to the market with No Upwards Chain, an early viewing comes highly recommended.
