3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A PERIOD SEMI-DETACHED COTTAGE FOR IMPROVEMENT SET IN A TRULY RURAL HAMLET LOCATION AND BENEFITTING FROM A 0.25 ACRE PLOT.

Offered with no chain and offering potential to modernize and extend (subject to consents) this semi-detached period cottage is just one of a pair set in a delightful location.
