Description

This character-filled two-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for both homeowners and investors seeking a project in a desirable city centre location. While the property is ideally located on a peaceful, friendly street just moments from the bustling heart of the city and mainline train station, it is now in need of modernisation to unlock its full potential. The layout includes an entrance hall that leads into a living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with a sizable basement that has been properly sealed and tanked for added peace of mind. Upstairs features two double bedrooms alongside a four-piece family bathroom. The loft space is already boarded and insulated, offering additional possibilities for expansion or storage. Outside, there is a low-maintenance courtyard garden perfect for creating an outdoor retreat once revitalised. With original period features like unused fireplaces that can be brought back to life, this property holds great promise for those looking to invest in renovation and realise their vision of a bespoke family home.
