House For Sale £250,000
Newbury, Gillingham

A splendid opportunity to purchase an appealing semi detached stone cottage with two double bedrooms, boasting a tucked away high street location and offered for sale with the bonus of no onward chain. The cottage is ideally located, just a short walk to the mainline train station, which serves London Waterloo and the West Country and all the town's amenities, as well as being close to some fabulous country and riverside walks. We believe that the property dates to the Victorian era and has been held by the selling family for many years. This delightful cottage provides a bright and spacious interior with high ceilings and will go a long way to satisfy many potential buyers' needs. It would make a great first time home and equally serves well as a downsize for one's leisure years or even as a lock up and leave UK base or to compliment an existing rental portfolio or first time investment. However, it would lend itself to even more requirements and has to be viewed to truly appreciate what this lovely home has to offer. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas fired central heating and has off road parking. An early viewing is strongly urged as such a charming property rarely becomes available this close to the town.
