Description

This stone-built four-bedroom family home presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. Located within a private plot in the quaint village of Reston, it is conveniently close to the local train station, making it an excellent choice for commuters. The property, known as Alexander Cottage, offers a substantial rear extension that enhances living space but could benefit from modern updates and cosmetic enhancements throughout. With a charming façade and significant curb appeal, the house's internal layout includes two reception rooms with open coal fires, a spacious breakfasting kitchen with integrated appliances, and multiple bathrooms across both levels—a practical setup for busy families. Off-street parking is plentiful with both a private driveway and a double garage at the rear, which also has potential for conversion into additional living space or storage solutions. This ample space provides an ideal canvas for modernising interiors while maintaining its traditional charm. The surrounding area features local amenities such as schools and shops, making it attractive not only as family accommodation but also as a potential investment for future resale value.
