Built of block, the bungalow has two reception rooms, kitchen, three bedrooms, study/box room and bathroom. It has been unoccupied for several years, has been subject to water ingress and requires substantial works to make it habitable.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance
To comply with UK Anti Money Laundering legislation, all estate agents are required to complete ID verification checks on all sellers and buyers, to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends and to verify the legitimate source of funds of every buyer. We conduct these checks through an independent specialist service provider, alongside our own internal due diligence, and there is a fee of £24 (£20 plus VAT) per person. This is not a credit check so it will have no effect on your credit history.
