Description

This characterful end-of-terrace cottage dates back to the early 1900s and presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment. Set on a spacious garden plot, the property offers scope for expansion (subject to planning permission) or reconfiguration of its existing layout. The entrance hall sets the stage for the rest of the home, featuring a storage closet and easy access to various living spaces. The lounge is adorned with a double-glazed window that overlooks the front garden, creating a pleasant ambiance enhanced by a fitted gas fire. Adjacent to this, the dining room also benefits from natural light and views of the mature rear garden. The kitchen, while functional, leaves room for modernization and includes essential fittings such as a stainless steel sink and space for additional appliances. Leading off from this area is a utility porch equipped with connections for laundry appliances, providing convenient access to both the rear and side gardens. On the first floor, two well-proportioned double bedrooms await. Each offers garden views and ample space for furnishings. The existing bathroom features a quadrant shower but could be transformed into additional living space or a third bedroom (subject to planning). Outside, both side and rear gardens provide privacy and potential for landscaping or even extending the property. The front garden allows for possible off-road parking by utilizing part of its area, which could enhance accessibility and value. Located in an inviting neighborhood with local amenities close by, this property stands ready for its next chapter. Whether you envision it as your forever home or an investment opportunity with significant potential, it awaits creative ideas to bring its full character to life.
