Currently the property does require a degree of modernisation and extends to around 107sqm, offering sizeable accommodation. The windows and doors within the property are a mixture of timber and PVC casement type incorporating sealed unit double glazing. The kitchen has a range of wall and base mounted units and internal doors are of a timber and glass design.
