Agents notes
The property requires remedial works to the left side gable. Due to the nature of the construction, timber frame and brick skin which was added in the 1930’s, the brick wall is bulging. It is believed the tiled roof seeds on a reed bed. Full reports and surveys are available, but the property isn’t believed to be secured against a mortgage. There is a well at the rear of the property.
