The Property Dating from circa 1960's, this is a modern LOWER VILLA apartment within a block of only four that are former Local Authority built homes, mostly now in owner-occupation. Residential property constructed in this era, were well built and offer generous good sized rooms. This is one such example but it also boasts lots and lots of storage space, very rare with new-build homes nowadays. The aspect to the front, enjoyed from the lounge (and its Balcony) and the kitchen is open and sunny. It could attract first-time buyers looking to get "on the the home ownership ladder", downsizers or indeed an investor because the yield, at this price, is an attractive prospect. The property is presented in move-in condition but there is still further possibilities for a buyer to introduce their own interior design ideas.
