Nestled in a charming and sought-after location, this delightful two-bedroom semi-detached character cottage offers a unique blend of period features and modern comforts. The property showcases an impressive living space, with original features such as exposed beams and traditional fireplaces providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen/diner is perfect for both every-day living and entertaining guests, with ample room for a dining table and plenty of storage options. The cottage is currently tenanted, making it an ideal opportunity for buy-to-let investors seeking a property with immediate rental income. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the home is presented in good decorative order throughout, offering a ready-made investment or a charming residence for those seeking character and comfort in equal measure.
The outside space is equally impressive, with a beautifully maintained and enclosed rear garden that offers a tranquil retreat from the bustle of every-day life. The garden features a combination of a decked patio and a paved patio area, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sun. Planted borders add a splash of colour and interest, while a storage shed provides practical space for garden tools and equipment. To the front of the property, the area is pedestrianised, ensuring a peaceful setting, and there is shared driveway access via double wooden gates (ideal for off-street parking or ease of access). This cottage truly combines the appeal of character living with the benefits of a well-designed outdoor space, making it a rare find in today’s market. ‘This property is for sale by Modern Method of Auction allowing the buyer and seller to complete within a 56 Day Reservation Period.
