This Grade II listed town-centre cottage occupies three floors and combines historic character with a rare long rear garden of over 90 ft — uncommon for a central terrace. Period features include flagstone floors, exposed timbers, an ornate bedroom fireplace and a lounge bow window, giving the house immediate charm and strong kerb appeal. The accommodation is compact but well-proportioned: living room, kitchen, downstairs WC, two double bedrooms, main bathroom and a separate WC.
The house will suit a buyer who values period character and outside space in a small town setting — ideal for a first-time buyer or someone seeking a charming central home to personalise. Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus affordable council tax and a decent plot size. Local amenities and several well-regarded schools (including an outstanding secondary) are within easy reach.
Important practical considerations: the listing status means alterations will be constrained and will likely require specialist consent; the property shows wear consistent with a fixer-upper and will need refurbishment to modern standards. There is a medium flood risk to note, and the overall internal footprint is modest compared with the generous garden. Buyers should factor potential costs for repairs, listed-building works and any flood-mitigation measures.
Offered with no onward chain, this cottage presents clear potential for someone prepared to invest in sympathetic renovation. The result could be a distinctive, characterful home in a very desirable, affluent town-fringe location with a long garden rarely found in town-centre terraces.
