Grade II period cottage with Georgian and Victorian features
This attractive Grade II period cottage on Bristol Road blends Georgian and Victorian character with comfortable family living. The principal sitting room features a wood-burning stove and sash windows; a second reception room provides flexible space for a home office or snug. The long kitchen/dining room opens to an enclosed rear garden, creating a sociable ground-floor flow for everyday family life.
Outside, the plot is a strong selling point: a generous rear lawn, mature borders, a stone-built workshop/store and off-street parking for 2–3 cars accessed via a shared private driveway. The property is presented in good decorative order, with many original features intact — fireplaces, high ceilings, and period cornice — offering immediate appeal and further scope for sympathetic updating.
Practical points to note: the house is heated by an oil boiler (external oil tank on site) and benefits from freehold tenure, moderate council tax and no flood risk. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, which may affect home-working arrangements. As a Grade II property, there may be restrictions on external and some internal alterations; prospective buyers should check listed-building implications before planning works.
Overall this three-bedroom cottage will suit families seeking character and outside space in a very affluent suburb, or buyers looking for a well-located period house with potential to modernise systems and layout while retaining original features.
