Characterful four-bedroom cottage with garden and loft space to personalise.
Four bedrooms including loft-room with large Velux
Bright lounge/diner plus separate formal lounge/flexible room
Contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and pantry
Fully enclosed front and rear gardens with storage shed
Single bathroom only — may be limiting for families
Rear garden is shared with neighbouring properties
On-street parking currently; potential to create driveway
Small overall size (approx 1,023 sq ft); needs some updating
This end-terraced home offers versatile accommodation across a compact footprint, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and scope. The property benefits from a bright lounge/diner, a formal lounge that could work as a fourth bedroom, and a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and pantry storage. Upper-floor rooms include a master with a large Velux and coombed ceilings, giving loft-space character and useful additional sleeping or study space.
Outside, the property has fully enclosed gardens — a private front garden with decking and seating areas, and a rear grassy garden with paved path and shed. Parking is currently on-street, but several neighbours have converted front areas into driveways, so creating off-street parking is a realistic possibility. The home is freehold with low council tax (Band B), and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
Buyers should note some material points: the house is relatively small (about 1,023 sq ft) and has a single bathroom. The rear garden is shared with neighbouring properties, and the wider local area is described as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental perceptions. Internally the property appears tidy but would benefit from selective updating to maximise value and comfort.
Overall this is a practical, characterful property with good layout flexibility and clear potential for improvement. It will suit a buyer looking for an affordable entry into the area who is happy to personalise the home and consider modest works such as creating off-street parking or small modernisation projects.
