Rose Cottage is a charming period detached cottage set in a tucked-away, wooded setting on a generous southerly plot of about 0.45 acre. The house retains traditional character—exposed beams, open fireplace and timber windows—while the extensive mature gardens provide strong privacy and scope for outdoor living or landscaping.
Internally the footprint is modest (approximately 914 sq ft) with two reception rooms, three bedrooms and one bathroom. The accommodation would benefit from comprehensive modernization: the property needs renovation, walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, and there is only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
For buyers seeking potential, the site offers clear scope for improvement and possible enlargement, subject to planning permission (s.t.p.p.). The combination of a substantial plot in an affluent, low-crime area, excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, and outstanding nearby primary schools makes this cottage especially attractive to families wanting to extend or sympathetically update a character home.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the cottage is freehold, constructed before 1900, and sits in a very large, southerly garden that will appeal to gardeners and families. Buyers should budget for renovation works, potential insulation and upgrading, and factor in planning timescales if pursuing extensions.
