A double-fronted detached cottage on a quiet off-road stretch of Lightwood Avenue, offering period character and practical family space. The traditional layout includes a central hallway, formal lounge, separate dining room, breakfast area and a well-equipped kitchen—all arranged over a comfortable 1,222 sq ft. Original stone elevations and dormer windows give the house kerb appeal and a sense of history.
Outdoors there is a decent plot with a private walled driveway, excellent off-street parking and enclosed garden areas with pathways that wrap around the home. Modern comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — helpful for home working and everyday connectivity.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the early 20th century and the stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, so upgrading could improve comfort and running costs. Flooding risk is assessed as medium and the local crime level is above average, both worth factoring into insurance and safety plans. The house has one family bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families.
Positioned near supermarkets, bus stops and well-rated primary schools, this cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful family home with scope to modernise and tailor to their needs. Freehold tenure and a modest council tax band add to the practical appeal for long-term ownership.
