A compact, chain-free detached cottage close to Whittlesey town centre, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance living and outdoor space. The ground floor offers a sizable lounge and a galley kitchen fitted with an integral oven and hob. Two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom sit on the first floor. The south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, arranged to patio and lawn for easy upkeep and sunny afternoons.
The house is freehold with gas central heating and double glazing throughout; council tax band A keeps running costs low. At about 468 sq ft the accommodation is modest in scale, so it will suit buyers wanting manageable, efficient space rather than large-family living. EPC D suggests there is room to improve energy efficiency (insulation, boiler or windows) if lower bills are a priority.
The property is straightforward in layout and presents clear scope for light modernisation to add value and personal style. Note the bedrooms are small and there is a single bathroom, which may limit suitability for households needing more space or additional bathrooms. The neighbourhood is described as an ageing urban community and the wider area shows higher deprivation indices; buyers may wish to research local amenities and travel links in more detail.
Overall, this detached cottage offers a low-entry route into homeownership with a sunny garden and close proximity to town amenities. It will especially appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers who prioritise location and outdoor space over internal square footage.
