Set in a sought-after area of town within a sizeable corner plot, this detached period house requires significant refurbishment works and also offers an excellent opportunity to significantly enlarge, or to redevelop.

Description
Believed to date back to the 1820s and then enlarged in the 1890s, this detached period house sits in a corner plot at the start of Lansdowne Road, a tree-lined road of large Victorian houses. A pedestrian gated entrance leads from Lansdowne Road to the front door, and from Union Street is a gated vehicular entrance to a driveway. The house hasn't been upgraded since the mid-twentieth century and has stood empty in recent year and as such it is in a poor condition. Accommodation is over two floors and many of the original features remain. It is positioned to the side of the plot with garden wrapping around the front and sides of the building.

Auctioneer's Note:
This property was most recently sold in our August 2024 auction but due to the Buyer failing to complete, it is now being re-entered.

Accommodation
Ground Floor:
Entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, family room, study, kitchen, cloakroom and store.
First Floor:
Landing, three bedrooms and a large bathroom that was formerly the fourth bedroom.

Exterior
A low brick wall with timber fencing extends around the two road-side boundaries with gated entrances to both roads. Within the grounds are several mature trees, a variety of shrubs, areas of lawn and a driveway.
