This charming mid-terrace Victorian cottage offers character-filled living across an open-plan ground floor and two good-sized bedrooms. Period features such as exposed beams, original doors and a wood-burning stove create immediate warmth, while a sunroom and bonus vaulted room with skylight add flexible living and direct access to a private garden backing onto woodland.
Practical benefits include ample off-street driveway parking for multiple vehicles, a recently replaced boiler, double glazing (installation date unknown) and a decent-sized plot ideal for outdoor entertaining. At 791 sq ft the layout is efficient for first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-enjoy home with scope to personalise.
Notable considerations: the cottage was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential insulation or energy improvements. The area classification indicates local deprivation and crime is average; broadband is fast and transport links to the A329, M3 and M4 are convenient. The property is freehold with moderate council tax.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented home in a walker’s-paradise location close to woods, lakes and local amenities. It will suit first-time buyers wanting style and outdoor space, or small-scale investors seeking a desirable cottage in a semi-rural setting.
