It is approached over a driveway that allows parking for vehicles and a foregarden which is overgrown and needs to be cleared but the driveway gives access to a garage and useful cellarage. Steps lead up to the right hand side and gives access to the bungalow which is in need of complete refurbishment, both internally and externally. Buyers should be aware that we understand that there is asbestos present and there is work required to be done to some of the retaining walls, particularly to the left hand side of the property and all this has been considered in the price as well and the considerable refurbishment work that is required.
