A great opportunity to purchase a well proportioned three bedroom detached bungalow which was previously damaged due to a burst water pipe but now offers a fantastic purchase for the small builder or for those wanting to add their own mark in creating what could be a fantastic home.. Set upon this good sized plot with gardens all around and with a notably good sized rear garden. Viewing is highly advised.
