This pretty Victorian mid-terrace combines original period charm with elevated river and viaduct views. Tall ceilings, sash windows and feature fireplaces create a welcoming living room and a separate dining room that could serve as a third bedroom if required. The kitchen-breakfast room opens via double doors onto an elevated courtyard terrace, ideal for relaxing and watching the estuary activity.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms with original fireplaces, a bathroom and a spiral stair to a useful loft/flex space with three Velux windows. The vendor advises the attic does not meet building-regulation standards for a habitable room, so it is best treated as occasional use, storage or a work-from-home space unless upgraded. Heating is by LPG boiler and radiators.
Practicalities suit village life: a small walled courtyard to the front, an external utility and gardener’s loo at the rear, freehold tenure and low council tax. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the location places you within walking distance of pubs, a café, arts facilities, riverside walks and local schools.
Note the property’s construction and setting: as-built granite or whinstone walls are assumed to lack insulation, and the plot is compact with no designated parking. Buyers should allow for some updating, insulation improvements and potential loft works if converting to a full-height room.
