A handsome three-bedroom Victorian terrace in semi-rural Lower Hartshay, this cottage blends period character with recent practical upgrades. The ground floor offers a welcoming lounge with a log burner, a fitted kitchen and separate dining room, while a light gallery upstairs leads to three bedrooms, a dressing area and a newly fitted four-piece bathroom. The home is presented with fresh decoration and new carpets throughout.
Practical improvements include a newly installed boiler and radiators, double glazing and a partial re-wire already completed — useful modernisations that reduce immediate maintenance. Outside there are small front and enclosed rear gardens, a patio, garden sheds and off-street parking with a carport to the rear, useful for rural living and weekend projects.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should influence viewing decisions: the property is mid-terrace with average overall floor space (approx. 828 sq ft) and just one bathroom serving three bedrooms. The walls are original solid brick and assumed to have no internal insulation, so heating costs or retrofit work could be a future consideration. The electrical re-wire remains partial, so completion will be required to meet current standards.
This home will suit first-time buyers, young families or those downsizing who value character and a village setting but want many of the benefits of recent renewals. For buyers who prioritise open-plan space or fully modern fabric upgrades, factor in the likely additional expense of insulation and completing the re-wire.
