PROPERTY
This impressively preserved example of a Victorian bay-windowed cottage is packed with character and potential to be a wonderful family home.
Step through the entrance porch, past the stain glass, paneled door and beneath the decorative arch where you will find the living room. Where there were previously two receptions, the space has been combined to create a light sitting and dining room with an open fireplace at one end.
A couple of steps down at the back of the room brings you to the kitchen with some original, built-in cupboards and an ornate stain glass door through to a small utility/sun room with matching stain glass.
To the first floor is a larger than average, dual-aspect bathroom with an airing cupboard, and two bedrooms, the largest of which benefits from the bay window. The main bedroom is a large double with picture rails, while the rear bedroom is still a good size.
At the rear of the property is a garden area with raised flower beds, pathway leading to the rear gate that passes a workshop, a coal shed and an outside WC. There is much potential here for workspace or additional living space subject to planning.
