Set back on a private drive in Newhall, ‘Acushla Cottage’ is a two-bedroom semi-detached home on a large plot with strong parking and garage provision. The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a cosy lounge with a coal-effect stove, making it comfortable from day one. The extensive private rear garden and decent plot size give scope for family outdoor living and landscaping improvements.
The ground floor layout includes a fitted breakfast kitchen, utility and cloakroom/WC, with a lean-to conservatory off the lounge. The kitchen and some internal finishes date from the mid-20th century and will suit buyers prepared to update. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a shower room; room sizes are practical rather than grand.
Practical positives include private off-road parking for several vehicles, detached garage with power, freehold tenure and good commuter links to nearby towns and motorways. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local amenities, schools and a bus route are within walking distance.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property was built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and some areas (notably the kitchen) need modernisation. The wider area shows higher-than-average crime rates and is classed as very deprived, so buyers should weigh local context. Council tax is unusually low, which helps running costs.
