Nestled in the desirable Lammack area, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers an intriguing blend of historical character and potential for renovation. The property features a spacious garden extending around the front and side, combined with off-street gated parking which enhances both convenience and security. Inside, the cottage reveals its charm through elements such as original stone flooring and exposed stone walls, particularly in the kitchen and lounge. A wood-burning stove positioned within a striking inglenook fireplace serves as a captivating central feature. Adjoining this inviting space is a bright breakfast room that benefits from multiple windows, filling it with natural light and offering views over the garden. The first floor comprises a generously sized double bedroom alongside a well-proportioned single bedroom, complemented by a three-piece shower room.

Notably, there exists an opportunity for expansion to the side of the property (subject to planning permission), allowing for further customization to suit individual preferences or increasing rental potential. The outdoor space is particularly noteworthy, featuring a large garden that acts as an oasis for relaxation or entertainment. A substantial decking area is ideal for al fresco dining or enjoying sunny afternoons, while additional storage is provided by a shed. Mature shrubs contribute both greenery and privacy to this tranquil environment—a perfect setting for families or gardening enthusiasts. Located in a highly sought-after neighborhood, this property enjoys proximity to various essential amenities and educational institutions such as Pleckgate High School, Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, and Lammack Primary School. Nearby places of worship cater to diverse community needs.
