Description

Charming two-bedroom cottage on Foster Street, combining beautifully presented accommodation with character features and an attractive rear garden. Forming part of a small row of cottages, the property has a welcoming feel throughout, with exposed brickwork, timber floors and neutral decoration complemented by a conservatory that creates a lovely connection between the home and its outdoor space.

The front door opens into the living room, where an exposed-brick fireplace housing a stove forms an appealing focal point. Timber floorboards add warmth and character, creating an inviting room in which to relax. The accommodation flows through to the dining room, with the central chimney breast providing a natural division between the two reception areas. Further exposed brickwork and a timber mantel continue the cottage styling, while the layout offers space for dining and entertaining. The staircase rises from this room to the first floor. The kitchen is fitted with timber-fronted wall and base units, complemented by light-coloured worktops and tiled splashbacks. An oven, hob and extractor are set within the galley-style arrangement, with further space for appliances. Double doors lead into the conservatory, a particularly attractive addition to the accommodation. Currently arranged as a further sitting room, it features tiled flooring, a pitched translucent roof and garden-facing glazing. Double doors open onto the patio, making this a lovely spot to sit with a morning coffee or enjoy the garden outlook. The ground-floor bathroom is accessed from the dining room and comprises a panelled bath with shower over, a wash basin set within a vanity unit and a WC.

On the first floor, a landing provides access to both bedrooms. The masterbedroom is attractively presented with painted timber floorboards, a patterned feature wall and wardrobe storage. Bedroom Two continues the neutral decoration and painted floorboards and is currently arranged as a dressing room with further wardrobe storage.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property. A paved terrace immediately outside the conservatory provides space for outdoor seating and dining, with a timber pergola adding character to the entertaining area. Beyond the terrace, a long lawn extends between established planting and timber fencing, with space to enjoy gardening and arrange additional seating. A painted timber summerhouse stands at the far end.

For buyers seeking a home with individual character and outdoor space to make their own, this cottage is well worth viewing.

Front Garden

A pathway leads through the lawned front garden to the cottage’s covered entrance. Picket fencing and established planting complement the characterful frontage, with the front door opening directly into the living room.

Living Room

10'8" x 8'9" (3.25m x 2.67m)

A welcoming reception room centred around an attractive exposed-brick fireplace housing a stove, set upon a tiled hearth. Timber floorboards and neutral decoration complement the cottage’s character, while the front-facing window provides natural light. An open connection around the central chimney breast leads through to the dining room, creating a sociable arrangement between the two reception areas.

Dining Room

13'7" x 10'4" (4.14m x 3.15m)

Continuing the timber flooring from the living room, the dining room provides space for a table and chairs, with an exposed-brick chimney breast and decorative timber mantel adding further character. The interconnecting layout makes this a natural setting for everyday dining and entertaining. From here, the staircase rises to the first floor, with access also provided to the kitchen and ground-floor bathroom.

Bathroom

4'6" x 8'4" (1.37m x 2.54m)

Accessed from the dining room, the bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with wall-mounted shower over, a wash basin set within a vanity storage unit and a low-level WC. Tiled walls and flooring are complemented by a blue feature wall, while a rooflight and decorative glass-block panel bring additional light into the room.

Kitchen

7'7" x 8'4" (2.31m x 2.54m)

The cottage-style kitchen is arranged in a practical galley layout, with timber-fronted wall and base units, light-coloured worktops and tiled splashbacks. Features include an inset sink and drainer with a traditional-style mixer tap, an oven and hob with extractor above, and space beneath the worktops for appliances. Recessed ceiling lighting and pale tiled flooring complete the room, with double doors leading into the conservatory.

Conservatory

11'8" x 13'5" (3.56m x 4.09m)

An attractive addition to the ground-floor accommodation, the conservatory provides a further sitting area overlooking the rear garden. The pitched, translucent roof and surrounding windows create a light-filled space, complemented by tiled flooring and neutral decoration. Double doors open directly onto the paved patio, connecting the indoor seating area with the garden and offering an inviting setting for a morning coffee or quiet afternoon.

Landing

2'7" x 2'4" (0.79m x 0.71m)

Returning to the dining room, the carpeted staircase rises to a compact first-floor landing. White-painted woodwork and neutral decoration continue the presentation of the ground floor, with doors providing access to both bedrooms.

Master Bedroom

10'8" x 10'4" (3.25m x 3.15m)

An attractively presented double bedroom featuring white-painted timber floorboards, a softly patterned feature wall and a window providing natural light. Currently arranged with a double bed, bedside furniture and a dressing table, the room also benefits from wardrobe storage with glazed doors. The light decoration creates a restful setting consistent with the cottage’s style.

Bedroom

10'8" x 10'3" (3.25m x 3.12m)

Currently arranged as a dressing room, the second bedroom continues the white-painted timber floorboards and neutral decoration. A range of full-height wardrobes provides useful storage, with a window and radiator beneath. Accessed independently from the landing, the room offers flexibility for a purchaser to arrange according to their requirements.

Garden

Double doors from the conservatory open onto a paved terrace, providing an attractive space for outdoor seating and dining. A timber pergola adds definition to the patio area, with planted borders softening the surrounding fencing.



Beyond the terrace, a long lawn extends through the garden, bordered by established shrubs, planting and timber fencing. Seating areas along its length offer different places to enjoy the surroundings, making the garden a particularly appealing feature for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.

Summerhouse/Workshop

11'4" x 8'0" (3.45m x 2.44m)

Positioned at the far end of the garden, the painted timber summerhouse benefits from power and lighting, with glazed double doors and a broad front window overlooking the lawn. A useful addition to the property, providing a separate space for hobbies or relaxing away from the main house.
