This attractive period home offers generous space across approximately 950 sq ft, unusual for a one-bedroom property. The landscaped front garden with a feature summerhouse provides a private outdoor retreat and strong kerb appeal. Inside, original features such as stone walls, exposed beams and a fireplace give genuine character while rooms are practical and well-proportioned.
The property is chain free and freehold, heated by a mains-gas boiler with double glazing installed (date unknown). A ground-floor utility/storage area, separate WC and additional outside space increase versatility. There is clear potential to reconfigure the internal layout to create a second bedroom, subject to planning and building regulations.
Buyers should be aware this is an older stone-built home (constructed before 1900) with assumed uninsulated walls, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. The immediate area records higher crime levels and sits within a wider deprived classification, which may concern some purchasers. Nearby schools and amenities are accessible and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
This house will suit a buyer seeking character and external space who accepts renovation or improvement work. It’s especially appropriate for someone downsizing from a larger home who wants a ready-to-personalise property with good outdoor space and central connectivity.
