Built in 2015, this well-presented two double-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage sits on a low-maintenance corner plot within a peaceful riverside development. Ground-floor underfloor heating, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a sitting/dining area that opens to the garden create a comfortable, modern living layout ideal for day-to-day life and entertaining.
The first floor houses two generous double bedrooms, with an en-suite to the principal and a separate family bathroom. Outside there is an allocated parking space plus visitor parking and a lawned rear garden — likely the largest plot on the development — offering private outdoor space without heavy upkeep. The property is sold chain free and has convenient motorway access and local rail links.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are slow locally, the site sits in a medium flood‑risk area, and recorded local crime levels are above average. The area’s socioeconomic indicators show higher deprivation than average. A below-average service charge is payable for communal maintenance. These factors should be weighed alongside the cottage’s modern finish, riverside setting and low-maintenance garden when considering long-term suitability.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a move-in ready, modern cottage in a semi-rural setting or downsizers wanting compact, low-maintenance living with good transport links. It offers immediate comfort and sensible potential for modest personalisation, while practical constraints (connectivity, flood risk and local area statistics) are transparent and factual for an informed purchase decision.
