Property description

A two bedroom ex Duke of Bedford mid terrace cottage with an enclosed rear garden and single garage in a nearby block, for sale with no upper chain.

The brick under tile gabled property would be ideal as an investment or a first time buy. Dating back to 1855 it retains period features including a brick-built fireplace housing a log burning stove and exposed ceiling beams on both floors. The entrance porch has a pitched roof and a wooden latch door into the open plan sitting/dining room which has underfloor heating and open stairs to the first floor. A cupboard by the stairs has plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen has a range of base and eye level units with wooden worksurfaces over, an electric rangemaster cooker and space for a full-height fridge/freezer. There are metro tiled walls, a tiled floor with underfloor heating, and a uPVC double glazed door to the rear garden. On the first floor are two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has exposed ceiling beams, a feature fireplace, a built-in storage cupboard and access to the loft space. Bedroom two, also with ceiling beams, has a range of built-in wardrobes.

Outside

The front garden is principally lawned with a path to the entrance door. The two-tiered rear garden has a block paved area with a further paved outside entertaining area. Included are a small pond and flower and shrub borders with a specimen monkey puzzle tree and clipped hedging. There is a rear access gate opening to the passageway leading to a single garage in a nearby block. A gravel driveway area leads to the garage block shared with the six neighbours who have right of access to the parking area.

Purchaser Compliance & Administration Fee

To comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, Michael Graham is legally mandated to conduct compulsory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks on all property buyers. While we do not charge a commission fee to the property vendor, a mandatory compliance and administration fee of £54.00 (inclusive of VAT) per person is payable by the purchaser(s). This non-refundable fee covers the cost of third-party electronic identity verification, source of funds auditing, and the associated regulatory administration. This fee becomes payable upon an offer being accepted in principle and must be fully cleared before a Memorandum of Sale can be issued or solicitors instructed. The payment of this fee does not guarantee the completion of the transaction, and Michael Graham reserves the right to request further verification documentation to satisfy its statutory obligations.
