 2 & 2A Battlemead were up until the late 1970’s one typically art deco style family residence which was then extended and at some point then converted to the two separate units that you see today. There is a lot of potential within the property for a variety of uses, home & income, two investment properties, for two generations to live together but with independence or conversion back to one large and potentially stunning family residence. To convert back would potentially require a planning application & quite a bit of work but the resulting property could be something quite special. Internal viewing is a pre-requisite to appreciate the properties as they are now & to see how you could create a family home. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required for viewings.
