Bankend provides an opportunity for developers and self-builders to purchase both a new-build plot and an existing dwelling to refurbish.  The property has been competitively priced to reflect the condition of the existing dwelling so that profit opportunities are available on both projects.  The existing house provides approximately 1,430 sq ft of accommodation including three reception rooms, a kitchen, a large bathroom and two large bedrooms that can easily be reconfigured to three bedrooms, along with several useful outbuildings.  The new dwelling will provide three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and a dining kitchen.

Location

The property enjoys views over the river at the rear and is in an excellent position on the edge of the popular rural Village of Reedness, which is ideally placed for Goole, Scunthorpe and both the M62 and M18 motorways.  From Goole take the A161 to Swinefleet. At the mini roundabout in the centre of the Village turn left and then at the "T" Junction turn right towards Reedness. On entering the Village along Main Street the property will be found on the left hand side.
