Set on a quiet conservation street in Audley, this end-of-terrace Victorian cottage blends original charm with sensible updates. The bay-fronted lounge keeps its ceiling rose and coving around an attractive log burner; the recently fitted Shaker kitchen adds modern convenience with integrated appliances. A well-kept, low-maintenance cottage garden leads to a sizable timber summerhouse with electricity and French doors — a useful home office or hobby space.
Practical systems include a Worcester Bosch combi boiler serving radiators, double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas. The property is offered chain-free and sits in a low-crime, affluent area close to local amenities and Good-rated schools, making it a straightforward move for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking character and convenience in a small town setting.
Buyers should note a few clear drawbacks: the EPC is band E and walls are likely original solid brick with no insulation, so energy-efficiency improvement work is advisable. The property is small (approximately 594 sq ft) and the image notes roof issues that will need inspection or repair. Council tax is above average and broadband speeds are reported slow — factors to consider if you work from home.
Overall this cottage suits someone who values period features and a manageable garden, and who is prepared to invest modestly in energy upgrades and any necessary roof work to unlock the house’s full potential.
