This charming two double bedroom Victorian cottage is tucked away on a quiet residential road just off Knight’s Hill, a lovely, peaceful spot.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a great size. It features a large 1.5 bowl enamel sink with mixer tap, plenty of fitted floor and wall cupboards, wooden worktops and tiled splashbacks.
