This attractive two-bedroom period cottage, dating from around the 1800s, has been sympathetically modernised and is offered chain-free. With about 570 sq ft of well-presented accommodation over two floors, it suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance starter home close to local shops, a pub and transport links (A5 and rail connections). A recent combi boiler and updated kitchen and bathroom mean it’s ready to move into.
The interior retains character features — an exposed brick fireplace, cast-iron detail and a Belfast sink — while practical updates include integrated kitchen appliances and a stylish roll-top bath with a shower above. Rooms are compact, so the layout works best for buyers who prioritise location and character over generous space. The private walled courtyard is low-maintenance but very small and offers storage via a shed and a shared rear access gate.
Buyers should note some conservation-era construction limits: solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and an EPC rating of F, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards despite mains gas central heating. The property is freehold, newly renovated internally, and located in an affluent, low-crime area with good local schools nearby. Overall this is a characterful, move-in-ready cottage offering strong appeal for first-time purchasers or those downsizing.
