This charming Victorian mid-terrace cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and carefully maintained to create a stylish home that successfully combines period character with modern living. Lovingly redecorated over the years, the property is presented in excellent condition throughout and is move-in ready.

The property is approached via a small, low-maintenance front garden with attractive planter boxes leading to a brick-built entrance porch, creating a welcoming first impression.

The heart of the home is the impressive dual-aspect living/dining room, a bright and inviting space featuring engineered oak flooring, a characterful brick-surround fireplace with wood-burning stove and wooden mantel, together with ample space for both lounge and dining furniture. Useful under-stairs storage is provided, while timber stairs with integrated LED lighting lead to the first floor.

The kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by wooden work surfaces and includes a Rangemaster gas cooker with extractor hood, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Wood-effect LVT flooring and recessed lighting complete the space.

A stylish ground floor bathroom comprises a bath with rainfall shower and handheld attachment, low-level WC, heated towel rail and bespoke fitted cabinetry incorporating a vanity unit and wash hand basin.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned rooms. The principal bedroom is a light and airy double room featuring engineered oak flooring, a decorative brick fireplace and two built-in storage cupboards. The second bedroom is currently utilised as a home office and dressing room, benefiting from extensive fitted storage and an additional cupboard over the stairwell.

Externally, the enclosed rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance, being predominantly laid to lawn with a patio seating area immediately outside the kitchen. A summer house with power and lighting provides excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies or additional storage.
