*ANOTHER PROPERTY SOLD BY PUTTERILLS*
A rare opportunity to purchase this deceptively spacious, Grade II Listed two bedroom period conversion forming part of a small, low density character development of just two apartments situated above the High Street within the heart of the Old Town, a stone's throw from local amenities, shops and a short walk to the mainline railway station with fast direct trains to Kings Cross in 23 minutes. Shared use of a small, enclosed courtyard with a flight of external steps leading to a small communal hall serving just the two apartments.
This spacious versatile apartment boasts a larger than average arrangement of accommodation including a generous reception hallway, shaker style modern fitted kitchen, comfortable lounge, two double bedrooms and both a modern fitted bathroom and separate modern fitted shower room with utility space. Further benefits include gas fired central heating, downlighters (where specified) sash windows, oak effect flooring and grey carpeting set against white emulsioned walls. In our opinion the property represents an ideal buy to let investment or first time purchase. Tenant currently in occupation paying ÂŁ1,195 per calendar month. Viewing highly recommended.
