Tucked at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this detached early‑20th-century cottage blends original character with family-sized accommodation. The house offers two reception rooms with feature fires, a cottage-style kitchen and a separate dining room — practical living spaces that suit daily family life and informal entertaining.
Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms plus a versatile ground-floor study that can serve as a fourth bedroom. The bright, well‑appointed family bathroom and separate utility and WC add useful practicality. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed in or after 2002.
The long, private rear garden is a standout asset, richly screened by mature planting and anchored by an impressive summer house with its own bar/lounge, WC and bedroom — ideal for guests, a home office or hobby space. Off-road parking is generous, with a wide gravel drive able to take several vehicles.
Practical points to note: the property currently carries an EPC rating of E and is constructed with solid brick walls (no cavity insulation assumed), so buyers should consider potential improvement and insulation works to raise energy efficiency. Council tax is above average for the area. Overall, this is a characterful family home with strong outdoor space and scope to modernise for increased comfort and lower running costs.
