The property has recently undergone some renovations including the kitchen, all bathrooms and replacement of the roof as well as internal and external painting.
The 1900-built house was once a 15 room rabbit warren private hotel (Ascot Hotel) with guests expected to get to their room through another Patrons room. When the property was bought by the next owners it was converted into a Bed and Breakfast and has since been transformed again into a share accommodation house.
The next owner has a number of options as they could continue to let it as share accommodation earning a good rental return, move in immediately as the house is ready for the next family to love and enjoy it or raise the building that little bit more and utilise the sheer amount of space under the house that it has to offer.
