A characterful three-bedroom semi in the heart of Thurmaston village, this Edwardian cottage offers an affordable first step onto the property ladder. Re-carpeted and freshly decorated throughout, the house feels ready to move into while retaining original features such as exposed beams and uniquely shaped rooms that give real period charm.
The layout includes a kitchen-diner, lounge with a log burner, and a contemporary bathroom, all heated by mains gas central heating. The property sits within easy walking distance of Watermead Country Park and local amenities, making daily life and weekend escapes straightforward. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent—useful for home working.
Practical points to note: the house is modest in size with a very small courtyard-style garden and a single bathroom. The building is an older solid-brick construction with likely no wall insulation, and the EPC is rated D. There is a flying freehold element and local crime levels are above average, so buyers should check insurance and security needs. Council tax is low, and the freehold tenure keeps running costs predictable.
For first-time buyers seeking character and village location at an attainable price, this cottage presents good value and immediate livability with scope to upgrade thermal performance and personalise the interior over time.
