The Property - This period end of terrace cottage dates from the mid 19th Century and has been in the same ownership for the last 40 years. It was extended at the side and rear, albeit we understand those works have never been signed off for building regulation approval. At the rear is a generous garden, with two outbuildings. There is space to park a small family car in front of the dining room.

The Accommodation - The front door leads into the kitchen, although the current owners normally use the side access, and enter via the rear. The kitchen has a range of units with space for four under-counter appliances and a cooker. There is a wall mounted Worcester gas boiler, and an arch to a lobby with access to the under-stair cupboard. A further arch leads to the sitting room. This has a fireplace surround with an electric fire, and a deep window overlooking the garden. The adjoining dining room has a door to the rear lobby with useful storage, and an external door to the garden. On the first floor, bedroom two has a clothes hanging area and a window overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom three has a built-in desk and a velux window to the side, plus a recess with hanging space. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, while the airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder. A door and stairs from the first floor landing lead straight into the main attic bedroom. This is dual aspect with eaves cupboards, and a hatch to a small loft space.

Outside - At the front is a parking space suitable for a small family car with gated access to the left hand side, which leads to the rear. There is extensive paving with a pergola and a decked seating area. Beyond is a brick and stone building previously used as a children's playhouse. Behind is a block-built outbuilding with an internal mezzanine level, and an external overhang. Adjacent is an area of lawn, a raised seating area, and at the far end of the garden is a screened storage area.

General - All mains connected. The gas boiler in the kitchen supplies central heating and hot water. Council Tax band B - £1,866.22 payable for 2024/25. EPC rating band D - 60.
