Description

This charming four-bedroom cottage presents a valuable investment opportunity in the desirable Southover area, situated along a quiet no-through road and within easy reach of local amenities and schools. The property offers generous living spaces ripe for modernisation, featuring an ample reception area that leads into a bespoke kitchen equipped with barn-style doors opening to the rear garden. Natural light floods the spacious sitting/dining room, which showcases period elements such as an ornate fireplace and exposed beams. On the ground floor, there is a utility space with a WC and a bedroom that also has garden access. The first floor accommodates three further bedrooms of varying sizes, each boasting lovely views, alongside a contemporary family bathroom. Outside, the property is enveloped by a well-kept garden featuring paved areas and established greenery—ideal for gardening enthusiasts or those looking to create outdoor entertaining spaces.
