Description 139 Wallace Road is a three-bedroom, mid-terraced, redbrick former local authority townhouse that is believed to have been constructed in the 1920s. The property has traditionally laid out accommodation comprising sitting room, dining room, galley kitchen, ground floor bathroom, two first floor double bedrooms and a third bedroom on the second floor. The dwelling benefits from double-glazing throughout and gas-fired central heating. The property would now benefit from a schedule of renovation and refurbishment. To the front of the house is an enclosed garden and bin store. Behind the house is an enclosed garden that has an area of hardstanding and a timber shed, with gated access to the rear.  

Method Of Sale 139 Wallace Road must be marketed for a minimum period of 14 days to allow Flagship Housing to demonstrate that they have achieved best value. We anticipate that the property will generate significant interest and we have, therefore, been instructed to sell by informal tender. Tenders (best and final offers) should be submitted to the agent by 12 noon on Friday 27th May. Please contact the agent to receive a copy of the tender email.

The vendor requires offers to be accompanied by a Declaration of Interest Form, which is also available from the agent and needs to be completed by hand. Please see 'Notes' towards the end of these details for further information regarding the buying process.
