Newly renovated granite cottage — low-cost, ground-floor living close to station and shops.
Freehold single-storey granite cottage, recently renovated
This single-storey granite cottage on Princes Street offers an affordable, move-in-ready option for downsizers or retirees seeking town-centre convenience. Recently renovated to a high standard, the home retains period character—high ceilings, a feature fireplace and recessed alcoves—while adding contemporary comforts including a fitted shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances, gas central heating and double glazing.
The layout is compact and practical: entrance hallway, bright lounge, kitchen/diner, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a modern shower room. A fully fenced rear garden and external seating area provide private outdoor space with mature planting and a garden shed. The property is freehold and offered at a competitive price, with low council tax band A and no flooding risk.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the cottage is well suited to single occupants or couples who prioritise low-maintenance living close to amenities—supermarket, mainline station and a local hospital are all within walking distance. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, so those needing fast home internet should check provider options. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale outlook but contributes to the property’s affordability.
Overall this property is a neat, characterful option for someone seeking an easy-to-manage, ground-floor home with local services on the doorstep. It presents minimal immediate work required thanks to recent refurbishment, but buyers should factor in limited internal space and broadband limitations when considering the purchase.
