Definitely not as idyllic as the listing suggests!
The property is right on a very busy main road, the main bedroom is at the front so traffic noise is an issue. The curtains aren’t blackout curtains so street lights are an issue and one being faulty and strobing intermittently didn’t help. The exterior of the front could definitely do with some tlc as well. The rear of the property is right on a river as the picture shows so idyllic with the sound of the nearby weir. There has been some effort to modernise & improve the interior and it has been finished well. The boiler in the main bedroom starting up every 15 or 20 minutes quite noisily does nothing to aid a good nights sleep, it was set to water/radiator and off but the one radiator that seems to be on the circuit in the upstairs bathroom didn’t appear to work, there was plenty of hot water though. The other radiators were electrically controlled on a thermostat which seemed to work well. Instructions for the hot water system might have helped?? The stairs are very steep to the point of being dangerous in my opinion and this is definitely not a property for children or anyone not 100% steady on their feet. It is an old property but rain water leaking in on the stairs above the upstairs balcony was certainly a surprise. The kitchen is kitted out quite well and looks almost new, so no complaints there. The main bedroom not being on the same floor as the bathroom was an issue because of the challenging stairs.
