Location perfect for centre of town and very easy to find. Upon arrival and walk around property there was thick dust on all surfaces that were not tables/kitchen surfaces, shower door very dirty - black mould and light not working above mirror in main bathroom. outside of property tired and needs re painting. Kitchen units blown in places. Cooker trays full of fat - should be checked when cleaned. Property could be extremely comfortable if these issues sorted as the location is perfect. There is plenty of space in the property with a garden that would be perfect for breakfast on a warm sunny day.
