DESCRIPTION This delightful two double bedroom mid-terraced cottage is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac just off North Hill, offering a rare combination of character, charm and convenience. Pre-dating the 1900s, the property retains the feel of a traditional cottage while benefitting from modern upgrades throughout. With the city centre and Mutley Plain both within easy walking distance, it provides an ideal home for those who want to enjoy the energy of town living while still retreating to a peaceful setting.

On the ground floor, the cottage opens into a welcoming living room. The space is finished with attractive wood laminate flooring and features a useful shelved cupboard along with subtle low-level lighting, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. It is a room designed equally for relaxing evenings in or entertaining friends, combining comfort with a touch of style.

The kitchen lies to the rear of the property and is impressively spacious for a home of this kind. Fitted with light wood units, it provides ample storage and workspace, while a range of modern appliances are included, such as a fridge/freezer, washing machine, and a five-burner gas hob with oven. The layout makes this a highly practical and sociable cooking space. From here, a door leads directly into the garden, making it easy to step outside with a morning coffee or enjoy al fresco dining on warmer days.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to two double bedrooms and a well-equipped bathroom.

The larger of the two bedrooms sits to the rear and comes complete with fitted wardrobes and shelving, offering excellent storage while maintaining a sense of calm with its garden outlook.

The second bedroom, positioned to the front, is a slightly smaller double but still comfortably sized, making it a versatile space that could serve as a guest bedroom, home office, or additional double room as required.

The bathroom is well designed, offering both a corner bath and a separate shower cubicle. This thoughtful arrangement provides the luxury of choice and ensures that the space is practical for modern living.

The landing neatly connects the two bedrooms with the bathroom and maintains a natural flow throughout the upstairs accommodation.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed by traditional stone walls, giving it both privacy and charm. It has been designed as a courtyard garden, making it low-maintenance but still offering a pleasant area to relax outdoors.

The property also benefits from permit parking in the surrounding area, adding to its practicality for those with vehicles.

With gas central heating throughout, a well-presented interior, and a superb location that places shops, restaurants, and the city centre within easy reach, this lovely mid-terraced cottage offers an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a characterful home in very good condition, right in the heart of town.
