Tucked away in a quiet backwater of Eastern Green, this newly refurbished double-fronted cottage blends period character with contemporary comfort. The ground floor offers a cosy inglenook lounge with wood-burning stove, an open-plan dining kitchen with integrated appliances and French doors, plus an additional reception room and utility — ideal for family life or flexible working.
Upstairs, three bedrooms follow the cottage’s characterful theme with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and downlighting. The principal bedroom features a luxury en-suite while the family bathroom includes a roll-top claw-foot bath — thoughtful fixtures that reinforce the property’s move-in-ready appeal. Gas central heating and double glazing provide modern efficiency, with the EPC noted as current band D and potential band B.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden is a standout: large patio, decked seating area, formal lawn and mature planting create private entertaining and play spaces. The plot is described as decent for a cottage and a timber shed adds storage.
Practical points to note: the house is an older, solid-brick build (pre-1900) and external walls are assumed uninsulated, which may limit thermal performance despite double glazing. Parking appears limited to on-street or a small private space to the front. Overall this is a well-presented, characterful home suited to small families or buyers seeking a stylish, low-maintenance cottage in an affluent, peaceful neighbourhood.
