About the Property

This deceptively spacious three-bedroom terrace is set across three floors, combining period features with modern touches. The ground floor offers a cosy yet stylish lounge with a beautiful exposed stone fireplace and wood-burning stove—perfect for colder months. To the rear, the kitchen is bright and well-equipped, featuring oak-effect cabinetry, integrated oven and induction hob and ample storage. A stable-style back door opens onto the private rear yard, enclosed by stone walls with space for outdoor seating or storage.

Across the upper two floors, you’ll find the three main double bedrooms and the perfectly sized office, ideal for working from home—each presented in a neutral décor with a mix of carpeted and laminate flooring. The fully tiled bathroom includes a modern white suite with a shower over the bath, recessed lighting, and a frosted window for privacy. UPVC-framed double-glazed windows and gas central heating are fitted throughout, providing warmth and efficiency.

Externally, the property has a small walled garden to the front and an enclosed rear yard with gated access. Located in an established residential area, the home suits tenants seeking a character property with practical living space spread over multiple levels. Offered unfurnished and ready to move into, this is an excellent rental opportunity.

The washing machine and fridge freezer have been left by the landlord for the use of the tenant as a gesture of goodwill. The landlord will not seek to repair or replace these items if they fail.

Reposit

We’ve partnered with a company called Reposit who offer an alternative to paying a cash deposit. By using Reposit you can save a lot of money upfront as you will only need to pay the Reposit fee of £207.69 instead of a cash deposit which will be £1038.00. The Reposit fee is not refundable at the end of the tenancy. You can use the money you save to spend on something you actually want!

Please note that just like a normal deposit, you are still liable for any valid, end of tenancy charges. The difference with Reposit is that you keep control of your cash and only pay these if they actually occur at the end of your tenancy, rather than paying at the start. If you stay beyond a 12 month period, a £30 charge will be payable to reposit once a year to continue the cover.

This is optional and a normal deposit scheme is also available. Reposit is subject to certain referencing criteria and may not be granted following referencing.
