The picturesque property at the top of a flight of pedestrian steps on Priory Road is well known locally but its sale through Lennox Estates . . .who have put an enticing AMV of 300,000 on the property . . . has certainly brought out the crowds.

The pretty building could easily be mistaken for a house and a lot of people were contemplating returning it to residential use. It currently has an entrance hall, wc, kitchen area and huge 74.58 sq m (806 sq ft) hall internally, but these could easily be divided into proper living rooms within its 92.29 sq m (998 sq ft) of space.

Crowds flocked through the landmark property on first viewing yesterday.

With apartments in the area selling for 300,000 plus, who wouldn't be interested in a pretty property with its own mature garden . . . and even a babbling brook . . . even if it needs a bit of work.
