Description

For those seek an incredibly spacious and deceptively generous home within walking distance from Grimsby town centre and the wealth of amenities it has to offer, this may well be the property for you.

A period mid-terrace house that an extra level of quality and character stamped within it, this is a property that provides a rare mix of raw space coupled with a welcoming and modern finish. A range of appealing features, not least its convenient location, make this a perfect choice for those seeking a large first time buy or even a great buy to let property with a minimum of fuss or remedial work.

Three sizable bedrooms combine with an impressive three expansive reception rooms to create an amazing array of versatile space both upstairs and down. Each room has a fresh and welcoming decor but ultimate provides a vast blank canvas onto which can be imprinted any number of personal touches.

A practical and modern fitted kitchen and elegant family bathroom can be found at the rear of the property, equipping the house to deal with the needs of even large families while a separate upstairs W/C adds an extra level of convenience.

One of the most amazing features to be found at this property is its cutting edge heating set up. A state of the art Air Source Heat Pump fitted in the rear garden powers the central heating which combines perfectly with the extensive solar panel array. This means that the electrical heating system is hugely subsidised by the presence of the photovoltaic panels which can substantially reduce heating bills, even in such a large, period property.

Water heating is facilitated via an on demand gas water heater which is operated simply and efficiently, meaning that this is a home that requires very little gas to run. The property also benefits from PVC double glazing throughout.

An easy maintenance rear garden provides an opportunity for worry free relaxation with Indian Sandstone paving and attractive planting borders. A large shed may accommodate plentiful outdoor storage, to help keep the space tidy all year round.

All in all this is a home of incredible dimensions, enviable placement and immense potential and to truly appreciate all that it has to offer, this agent would recommend internal viewing.
