This attractive two-bedroom semi-detached character cottage sits in Old Calmore, set back from the road in a non-estate position with wraparound gardens and a gated driveway providing ample off-street parking. Interior features such as exposed beams, leaded windows and a feature fireplace retain period charm while the conservatory and decked terrace extend living space into the gardens.
The ground floor layout includes a spacious dining room, a cosy sitting room, compact kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a light conservatory. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a newly refitted shower room, reconfigured from the original third bedroom — making the house well suited to a couple or small family seeking character with modern conveniences.
Practical details reinforce the home's appeal: freehold tenure, around 937 sq ft of accommodation, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus affordable council tax. The plot is a major plus for gardeners and buyers needing parking; several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material items: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and running costs. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. There is a medium flood risk for the area, so buyers should obtain appropriate surveys and insurance quotes. Overall this is a characterful property that will reward sensitive upgrading rather than outright modernisation.
