'Windmill Cottage' is a generally well-maintained detached true bungalow standing within well-kept gardens and benefiting from uPVC double-glazed windows and doors, gas-fired central heating and a detached single garage. It would, however, benefit from refurbishment of the kitchen and bathroom fittings that, although functional, are now looking a little tired. The property would suit owner occupiers and investors looking for an easy-to-let property to start or add to their portfolio.
