Description:
Set in open countryside, close to Witton Castle, East Park offers an opportunity to purchase two desirable residential properties and has recently been reduced. The first, Witton Keep at 599,000, is a three bedroom former Engineman's House which provides in excess of 3,500 square feet of living accommodation which combines original character with contemporary finishes. A further three bedroom character cottage, The Old Forge at 289,000, is ideally suited to providing additional ancillary accommodation to Witton Keep or alternativley, could provide a further income stream as a holiday let or investment property.
