Large house arranged as two flats

A substantial property, currently arranged as a three-storey, three-bedroom maisonette and a lower-ground one-bedroom flat, both self-contained with separate gardens and services. The property is presented in excellent order throughout and has undergone complete refurbishment and modernisation in the last five years. Additional benefits include spacious, light rooms with a wealth of period features.

This property offers a new owner two possibilities: home and income (the one-bedroom flat rents out at £720 a month) or the opportunity to return the building to one large house (subject to the usual consents).

This property is situated in a sought-after location close to popular schools, commuter links to London, rail links to the university, easy access to the A27/A23, local shops and frequent bus services into the city centre.
