Guide Price £475,000 (Acquisition Of Two Adjoining Dwellings)

Holden Estate Agents are offering a rare opportunity to acquire a "pair" of dilapidated semi detached cottages believed to be former farm houses dating back to circa 1890/1900's. Both properties consist of three bedrooms, reception room, ground floor bathrooms kitchen & pantry, oil fired heating, detached garages & sheds, and extensive combined gardens with boundaries that appear to be defined by hedgerow and shallow ditches. Both properties are close to inhabitable condition and therefore it is assumed will prove extremely difficult to secure mortgage finance. Its assumed that there are no agricultural ties although this should be verified by your legal representation.

Location

Howells Farm Cottages properties occupy a rural locality on the northern side of Heybridge and is accessed via a jointly used gravel track which are shared with an adjoining small complex of former farm buildings which have shared commercial usages.
