Waverley Road, Cotham

“We love the cosy winters by the wood burner, french doors onto the terrace and leafy, well-stocked garden with the old apple tree (delicious crumbles and chutneys), climbing roses and wisteria and in the background the sound of wood pigeons and rumble of the local single-track train. There are friendly summer street parties nearby including at the lovely (now pedestrian) Cotham Hill a few minutes walk away with the award-winning Panunzio’s Kitchen Gelati, FED and One B cafes, Bravas and Muino Tapas, Pullins Bakery, a useful hardware store, chemist and post office, not to mention Snobby’s Wine Bar in Chandos Road, walks on The Downs, Burra and Wild Oats being favourite places."

The home

Sold with no onward chain and we are inviting offers, an exquisite and stylish two bedroom garden flat on a desirable road in Cotham, set within a charming building. The home has its own private entrance, leading straight into the generous hallway with bespoke cabinetry on your left, creating lots of storage. On the right is a cloakroom/WC, and a three piece bathroom adjacent, both presented in good order. Moving through the hallway, the primary bedroom sits next to the bathroom, benefitting from a bay window, panelling and integrated storage. The owner has then tastefully reconfigured, the second bedroom with a quaint study/dressing area opening through to the room. The room boasts dado rails and carpet flooring. Next is the focal point of the home, the open plan living/kitchen/dining area, offering an inviting modern-country charm, finished to the highest standard. The wood burner is flanked either side by alcove shelving. An opening leads to the contemporary kitchen with generous storage options. Oak worktops contrast with tasteful cabinetry, and the back door leads outside to the covered oak-framed pergola. A new EPC has been ordered.

The outside space

The garden is a truly tranquil space with power and lights, backing onto the trainline and facing northeast, benefitting from afternoon and evening sun. From the living room, you access the terrace with steps up to the brick-edged lawn, with a shrubbery border. Alongside the left-hand side of the property is a useful shed for bike/buggy/garden storage with access from both front and rear.
