** No Upper Chain ** Lines Villa has not been on the market for nearly 50 years! This beautiful Victorian house retains many of the original features and is a particularly spacious home of approximately 2250 Square feet with a very large rear garden that is 100 foot deep and 78 feet wide, with a plot that is just over one third of an acre. Situated in the heart of Shefford, a lovely market town with a large variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops and well-regarded schools, the train station at Arlesey is only a short drive. Lines Villa has had a rich history, it was a guest house and also the doctors house and surgery. It is now someone else’s chance to make their own mark and modernise this splendid house, or perhaps convert to a house of multiple occupation(HMO) or perhaps build an annexe to the rear or redevelop the site to flats like those just up the road or a small development of 6 flats at the front and 3 houses to the rear (see our plan). The house is for sale by informal tender and the closing date is 12 Noon, 1st of September 2023.
