Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

Location...

The bustling market town of Boston boasts one of the fastest expanding populations in the East Midlands with a population changing from around 55,000 in 2001 to around 72,000 residents or more today.

 

The town has a thriving economy relating to the surrounding rich fertile agricultural land, the port, a large 391 bed hospital and various local government administrations.

 

The historic market place dates back to the construction of Boston Stump which is approximately 714 years old and has a twice weekly market granted by a charter in 1555 by King Henry VIII.

 

The town enjoys historic links with Eastern Europe through the Hanseatic League and is currently experiencing another period of rapid growth with the construction of over 1,000 houses and a number of large infrastructure projects including; construction of 2 power stations, provision of 3 underground cables connecting offshore wind farms to The Grid, the nearby 1,500 acre Helpringham Reservoir as well as other associated schemes.

 

The property is located on the south side of the marketplace within a Grade II Listed terrace of shops, believed to be one of the first retail terraces constructed in the town.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
