Description

This charming detached Victorian cottage, built in 1875, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The property features four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, maintaining much of its original character while also benefiting from thoughtful improvements made by the current owners. Upon entry, you are greeted by a generous reception hall that leads to a cozy sitting room complete with a log burner and an attractive mantlepiece, perfect for nostalgic gatherings. The ground floor hosts a delightful dining room characterized by exposed beams and a Shaker-style kitchen fitted with granite worktops. A practical downstairs shower room adds convenience to daily living. The rear of the property boasts an elegant conservatory that opens onto a mature garden, ideal for outdoor activities or further enhancement. Upstairs, the well-sized bedrooms feature striking exposed beams and unique period details, including a family bathroom with original timber flooring and a cast iron bathtub. This unlisted property not only showcases historical charm but also presents excellent potential for extension (subject to planning permissions), making it an enticing prospect for those looking to add value. Additional features include off-street parking for several vehicles, a generously sized cellar for storage, and a large garage which could be transformed into an office or gym space. Located conveniently on The High Road, residents benefit from easy access to main roads as well as local amenities and well-regarded schools in proximity.
