DESCRIPTION
Nestled within the charming Lancelot Cottages on the ever-popular Derby Road, this delightful end-of-terrace Victorian cottage perfectly balances period character with modern-day comfort.
The property enjoys large, low-sill windows that flood the home with natural light, complementing its cosy, characterful rooms. The original staircase has been sympathetically restored by a skilled craftsman, complete with thoughtfully positioned handrails, while many original features remain, including Victorian doors.
The modernised kitchen has been tastefully updated with a new floor and is beautifully complemented by a period-style Welsh dresser, creating a wonderful blend of old and new. The traditional-style fireplace has also been upgraded with a gas fire, providing a warm, inviting focal point during the winter months, alongside the comfort of newly installed central heating.
Outside, the restored outbuildings retain many of their original fixings and include a traditional outside WC (currently not plumbed in), offering a glimpse into the property's history. A substantial modern carport provides excellent covered parking or workshop space, while secure double gates lead to generous off-road parking.
