It’s not that long ago when you could buy a property in need of updating and with a little effort - and a fairly small budget - you could end up with a house worth well more than you had invested in it. These opportunities have been very difficult to come by in recent years particularly in the challenging economic climate that we find ourselves in today.

But hang on! Here is an just such a building, offered at a below market price just waiting for you to make it your own, whilst at the same time building your equity. The accommodation comprises 30 foot open plan lounge/diner, separate kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor, plus three bedrooms - two doubles and a large single - and bathroom at first floor level. Features include original Parquet flooring and a lovely open fireplace. A good size garage provides housing for one car, or additional storage if required. There's parking for two further vehicles to the front. The garden to the rear is a suntrap enjoying rays from before lunchtime to well into late evening. Similar houses are on the market asking 80k to 70k higher so if you fancy a project, have a go at this!
