Description

A 2/3 bedroom semi detached house with garage and gardens offered on the shared ownership scheme and offered with NO PREMIUM.

A 30% share is offered for sale in conjunction with Milton Keynes Council and the property has NO PREMIUM.

Property was originally a 3 bedroom semi detached house with a dividing wall taken out making two bedrooms into one large room - this should be simple to replace if you require. It currently comprises a hall, lounge, kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The property does require some basic updating hence it is offered for sale without a premium. Outside there is a garage, front and a good size rear garden, and the property is ideally located just a short distance from Central Milton Keynes and it’s extensive facilities.

Ground Floor - The entrance hall has a door to the lounge.

The lounge has stairs to the first floor, window to the front, and a door to the kitchen/dining room.

Kitchen/dining room has a range of units to floor and wall levels with worktops and a sink unit. The freestanding appliances will remain. The dining area has a door opening to the lean to at the rear.

First Floor - The landing has doors to all rooms.

Bedroom 1 is a double bedroom located to the rear.

Bedroom 2 and 3 have been combined in to one very large room by removing a stud partition wall. There are still two windows, two radiators, and two doors opening into the room making a conversion back to a three bedroom house relatively simple and cheap with the erection of a partition wall.

WE HAVE SHOWN BOTH THE CURRENT LAYOUT AND THE ORIGINAL LAYOUT ON OUR FLOOR PLAN.

The bathroom has a suite comprising WC, wash basin, and bath. Window to the rear.

Outside - Small a front garden leads to the garage at the side.

The rear garden is a good size and has patio area with the remainder laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing
