House For Sale £250,000
A wonderful and rare opportunity to purchase a characterful, bright cottage style home offering around 754 square feet (70 sq. m) of accommodation with two double bedrooms, boasting a large, sunny and private garden and ideally located just a short walk to the town centre and mainline train station. The property boasts a secluded position, off a no through lane and is within a short walk to other local facilities, which include a One Stop and hairdressers and is within minutes walk of being in open countryside. We believe that the property formed part of a nunnery, which was converted into apartments and a house a long time ago. This lovely home has been cherished and enjoyed by our seller for about seventeen years. During this time it has been exceedingly well cared for. The property has some delightful features, including a window in the kitchen with arched leaded light inlay, recesses in the bedrooms, possibly a place for the nuns' bibles and exposed floorboards. A viewing is vital to really appreciate the well proportioned rooms and the easy to use layout that will certainly go a long way to satisfy many potential buyers' needs. A great first time home, wonderful downsize without too much of a compromise on outside space or perhaps a retreat from a hectic city life. An early viewing is recommended to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner.
