A characterful three-storey cottage dating from c.1850, updated in 2017 to combine period detail with modern convenience. The open-plan ground floor maximises usable space and brings natural light into the kitchen, dining and living area — an efficient layout for everyday living or sharer rental.
Two double bedrooms occupy the upper floors, with the principal on the first floor and a loft-style bedroom above. The first-floor bathroom is contemporary and benefits from a pressurised water system. Smart, smartphone-controlled electric radiators and LED lighting provide easy temperature control and low-light energy use.
Practical buyers will value the freehold tenure, no forward chain and fast broadband options; the property currently produces rental income of £1,200 PCM. The small courtyard garden is low-maintenance and the location is extremely commuter-friendly, close to the guided busway and local amenities.
Be aware: the home is electrically heated (no gas central heating) which can affect running costs, and the EPC is D/65. Local crime levels are reported as high; buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications. The house is an average size at around 739 sq ft, best suited to first-time buyers, couples or investors seeking a compact, characterful property with easy upkeep.
