This semi detached home offers great potential and is being sold with no chain.

This house has lots going for it - decent sized rooms, large garden, parking and the scope to extend (subject to necessary consents) as well as being sold with no chain.

The ground floor has 2 reception rooms and the kitchen, whilst upstairs there are 3 bedrooms plus the bathroom.

Like many houses in the area, the property is of Laing-Easi construction so please check with your mortgage lender prior to viewing.
