3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Being sold via secure sale online bidding. Terms & conditions apply. Starting bid £250,000

Description

A characterful mid terraced Grade II listed 3 bedroomed cottage in need of updating throughout. Set in the sought after, and popular Town of Cranbrook just a few minutes' walk from the Town centre and all its associated facilities.

The cottage suffered a flood to the ground floor when Tunbridge Wells Borough Council made the drain larger outside of the cottage. Unfortunaely they did not connect the pipe correctly which resulted in the flood. This has since been rectified and no sign of any flooding has occurred since. NFU Tenterden were the insurers at the time, due to the death of the deceased probate had to have been granted in order to complete the claim. Dehumidifiers were put in the property and the electrics have all been checked.

The executors have now changed insurance companies purely due to competitive pricing, we are informed that they had no trouble getting insurance as it was the fault of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
