Welcome to 69a Commercial Street

69a Commercial Street is a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached house, featuring a self-contained annex flat beneath. The property has undergone a comprehensive transformation in recent years, including a brand-new roof, with all works completed to an exceptional standard. The interior mirrors this level of quality, having been stripped back to the stonework and fully refurbished throughout. Both the main house and the annex have been successfully operated as Airbnbs over the years. However, the three-bedroom residence offers an ideal family home, with the added flexibility of letting out the self-contained flat. Externally, the property boasts a spacious private rear garden, complete with a patio area and garden shed.
