This established modern property presents with brick elevations and a tiled roof. It has benefitted from improvements over the years, with works including the addition of a Conservatory, fitting of UPVC double glazing, a composite front door and UPVC roofline. It is presented to the market at a price to allow potential purchasers the opportunity to personalise their own home, owing to the fact that it now needs some further updating and cosmetic refurbishment. Instead of paying top money, and buying a home which has been finished to someone else's specification, which may not necessarily appeal to everyone, the purchaser of this home can finish it to their own tastes, and therefore viewing is recommended at the earliest opportunity. This presents an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to 'put their own stamp' on a property, in this well served and popular village, with a station and convenient for the A14.
This property, which is located conveniently for a children's recreation area, and the Blackbourne Community Centre, together with nearby shops and the station, would suit a family, or investment purchaser, therefore viewing is recommended at the earliest opportunity.
