Welcome Home...

Tucked away in an idyllic semi-rural setting on the very edge of town, this enchanting detached period cottage is brimming with character and charm a truly rare find set within over half an acre of tranquil gardens.

This is a home with soul. While it now offers a fantastic canvas for modernisation and reimagining, it s easy to see the beauty that already exists here. From the moment you step inside, you re greeted by timeless features rich red brick open fireplaces, aged timber trusses, quaint leaded light windows and traditional latch doors.

The layout is generous and wonderfully versatile, offering three genuine double bedrooms (including one conveniently on the ground floor), two lovely reception rooms with dual aspects, and a spacious kitchen complete with an adjoining breakfast room perfect for lazy mornings or catching up over coffee. There s also a downstairs cloakroom/wet room and a first-floor bathroom, offering scope to rework and upgrade to suit a contemporary lifestyle.

Gas central heating is already in place, along with some secondary double glazing a solid foundation to build upon as you breathe new life into this special home.

Outside Oasis...

Outside, the gardens are just glorious. To the north, a vast lawn is framed by mature planting and offers an open space ideal for children to roam or summer gatherings. There s a sheltered paved courtyard a suntrap and a secret escape while the south-facing rear lawn rolls gently away toward a small wooded copse, providing dappled shade and a peaceful backdrop that changes with the seasons.
