Description

This 2 bedroom detached holiday chalet was redesigned some years ago creating a unique holiday chalet on South Shore Park with a number of unusual features including a stairway to 2 loft rooms in addition to the 2 ground floor bedrooms. We were informed by the previous owner that he had the construction altered from its original design of a timber chalet many years ago by installing a single external brick skin backed by breeze block to create a holiday chalet which gives the appearance of being a detached bungalow with a tiled roof. The chalet also boasts external ‘greek-style’ pillars to the front creating a grandeur appearance. The chalet comprises of an entrance hall, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, 2 ground flooor double bedrooms, bathroom/WC and staircase to loft at first floor level containing 2 loft rooms, In addition, the chalet offers lpg gas central heating and Upvc double glazing. Furthermore, all contents are included free of charge. The property was originally refurbished internally to a very high standard at the time but would now benefit from a little updating providing the opportunity for a purchaser to create a superb truly unique holiday home to be proud of.
