'Windmill Cottage' is a generally well-maintained detached true bungalow standing within well-kept gardens and benefiting from uPVC double-glazed windows and doors, gas-fired central heating and a detached single garage.  It would, however, benefit from refurbishment of the kitchen and bathroom fittings that, although functional, are now looking a little tired.  The property would suit owner occupiers and investors looking for an easy-to-let property to start or add to their portfolio.

Location

The property stands on a generous corner plot that is conveniently placed for local amenities and just a short walk from the town centre. Driffield offers an excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities, as well as excellent public transport connections to the East Coast and the larger centres of Beverley, Hull, and York.
