Perfect starter home near country park and good local schools.
One double bedroom cottage, compact 580 sq ft
A compact Victorian mid-terrace that suits a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a ready-to-move-into base with period character. The house offers a front lounge, a long kitchen/diner, one double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom — practical rooms arranged in a straightforward linear plan. A small block-paved front area and a private narrow rear garden provide outdoor space for pots, a lawn and a flagged patio.
Practicalities work in the property’s favour: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, UPVC double glazing, fast broadband potential and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is low and the lease is long (999 years from 1857) with a nominal ground rent of £4, keeping running costs modest.
Be clear about constraints: the house is modest in size (about 580 sq ft) and constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity wall insulation. The double glazing install date is unknown and the layout is compact, so larger households may find space limited. There is scope to personalise or add insulation and modern finishes to improve comfort and efficiency.
For buyers who prioritise location over scale, this cottage is within easy reach of local schools, amenities and Daisy Nook Country Park, offering an attractive blend of village feel and urban connections. It’s a practical, characterful starter home with clear potential to increase comfort and value through selective updating.
