Set on Newport’s High Street, Bank House is a characterful two-bedroom cottage combining period detail with practical modern upgrades. The sitting room centres on a feature fireplace with a working open fire, creating a warm, inviting living space. A fully fitted contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and breakfast bar opens directly to the sitting room, making efficient use of the ground-floor layout.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms — both unusually served by their own en suites — a rare advantage for a property of this size. A walled, private courtyard provides a manageable outdoor area for potted plants and a seating spot, while local shops, pubs and Newport Station are all within easy walking distance. Audley End Station delivers fast rail links to Cambridge and London, suiting commuters.
Practical points to note: the house is a mid-terrace, built before 1900, with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated; upgrading wall insulation may improve comfort and running costs. The property is freehold, around 700 sq ft, with an EPC rating of D and Council Tax Band C. The plot is very small and external space is limited, so this will suit buyers who prioritise location and character over a large garden.
