Brick and tile construction with UPVC doors and windows. There is also a detached single garage on the plot. The property has gas central heating and comprises living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms (one double, one small double or single). This is a relatively small property with a gross external area of around 60m2. The garden is mainly lawn and is surrounded by a high conifer hedge which is of considerable height and does not appear to have been well tended over the years. The soffits and facias are in poor condition and look to be mostly beyond repair – replacement being probably the best option. Internally most of the decoration is good, but the tenants state they have taken steps to remove mould from most rooms. Some residual mould is visible in the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. Most of the windows are in poor order with failed seals and missing or defective closing mechanisms. The central heating boiler is old, but it is difficult to assess its effectiveness.
