The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
This simple end-terrace brick built cottage offers plenty of potential for buyers looking for their first home or as an investment for purchasers looking to put their own mark on a property. There is plenty of scope for improvements as the accommodation is currently quite simple. There is a small fitted kitchen and breakfast area, with a range of units placed both above and below a Formica work surface along with space for an under counter fridge, a freestanding electric cooker and plumbing for a washing machine.TBC. A recently added UPVC conservatory provides a perfect place to view the rear garden whatever the weather. The ground floor also hosts both a dining room and a cosy living room.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms all benefitting from some fitted cupboards and served by a tiled shower room.
The home is heated by electric storage heaters and is double glazed.
Outside, within a sheltered courtyard there is a gardener’s WC and large detached studio/workshop, currently used by a local sculptor. The rest of the vast garden is enclosed by timber fencing to both sides and enjoys plenty of mature shrubs and traditional cottage garden planting. A large greenhouse and timber shed are in place. There is a covered and gated parking space large enough for a small car with another space in front accessed from Underhayes Lane. Ascending steps rise to the garden which also offers some potential for development of a separate dwelling subject to the appropriate planning and advice.
