Agents notes
This home is all about location and potential as so much is due to be replaced or repaired with redecorating needed throughout. The kitchen and bathroom are dated, the carpets worn, wall paper peeling and the wiring old. However the combi boiler, radiators, oil tank and most of the double glazed uPVC windows look quite recent - and the garden is lovely!
The garage too is perhaps near to the end of it's useful life and it's roof might contain asbestos although it looks relatively recent and we find no asbestos identifying marks on it.
The bungalow roof to the rear is slate with a few slipped tiles. The tiles on the front are a slate substitute which we suspect would contain asbestos. Where the property has flat roofs these have been upgraded from bitumen felt to fibre glass so they should now be trouble free for many years to come.
