DESCRIPTION
Located in the pretty village of Skeabost the subjects for sale comprise of a traditional stone built 1 ½ storey property forming 2 semi-detached houses. Over recent years both houses have been tastefully upgraded and modernised whilst still retaining some of the original cottage style charm. The subjects occupy as small area of garden ground that provides off road parking spaces at the side of each cottage. Number 1 comprises on the ground floor - entrance hall, kitchen/dining room and sitting room. The upper floor has a landing area with access off to the newly installed shower room and 2 double size bedrooms. The windows are a mixture of timber and upvc double-glazing and the house is heated by an electric heating system with an open fire in the sitting room. The cottage is immaculately presented and in very good order throughout. Number 2 comprises on the ground floor - entrance hall, shower room, sitting room and kitchen/dining room. The upper floor has a small landing with double bedroom off. This cottage benefits from very recently installed Upvc double glazing throughout and again is immaculately presented and in good order.
The subjects are offered for sale as a whole or in 2 Lots. This undoubtedly would be an excellent opportunity for the ‘buy to let’ investor or perhaps for a purchaser who would intend to live in one and make a lucrative income by letting the other. Both long term letting and holiday letting would be very possible in this location. It would also make an ideal home for ‘first time buyers’.
