The Property

1 Glebe Terrace has been in the same family's ownership for well over fifty years and is now to be sold for the first time in the open market since construction prior to the Second World War. Some refurbishment works have been conducted over the years, including the installation of double glazing, some internal insulation and economic electric heating, buy many prospective purchasers will no doubt want to undertake some further improvement and updating works. In addition, the extent of the gardens to the side and rear provide great scope for extension to the existing accommodation, if required, subject to all necessary consents.

Being an ex-local authority house in a village location, a Section 157 occupancy restriction applies, meaning future owners must have lived or worked in the county for at least the last three years. Being of pre-war construction, a Concrete Screening assessment has been completed which provides a clear, fully mortgageable A1 classification.
