A unique two-bedroom Victorian town cottage occupying a tucked-away position on St. Johns Hill, offering over 1,000 sq ft of characterful living space and unusually large, terraced gardens with panoramic town views. The property includes a versatile detached outbuilding (approx. 186 sq ft) currently used as an office with shower and kitchenette — useful for a home studio, guest suite or dependent living (subject to planning).
The house is solid brick, traditionally built before 1900, and retains period features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. The layout is flexible with a generous living/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a front study on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom above. Its secluded, central town location keeps shops and amenities within walking distance.
Practical updates are required: the property needs renovation, has single glazing, and assumed solid walls with no insulation — buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and general modernisation. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and there is a garage for parking. Council Tax band B means modest ongoing charges, and the site is not in a flood risk area.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking period character with space for gardening and outbuilding use, or purchasers willing to invest in upgrading fabric and glazing to unlock long-term comfort and value. The home offers strong potential for downsizers wanting a central yet private town base, or for an owner-occupier wanting to add value through sympathetic refurbishment.
