This charming 1850-built cottage, tucked away off the main road and accessed via a shared pathway, radiates character from the moment you arrive. As you approach the property, a charming well captures the rustic atmosphere of this tucked-away retreat.
Entering through the front door, you step into the cosy living room, where timeless features create an inviting ambiance. A beautifully crafted brick-built open fireplace serves as the heart of this room, perfect for relaxing by the electric fire on cooler evenings. The tiled floor flows seamlessly across the ground floor, harmonising with the neutral-coloured walls to create a sense of calm and cohesion. This spacious room can easily accommodate comfortable seating, making it a cosy space for gathering with family or friends.
Next to the living room, the dining room offers a lovely, bright setting for meals. A classic cast-iron fireplace adds character to this room, while a large window overlooks the garden, filling the space with natural light. There is ample space for a dining table, making it a perfect spot for entertaining or family meals.
From the inner hall, you are led to the heart of the home – a characterful, cottage-style kitchen that perfectly blends tradition with modern utility. The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry in a soft off-white tone, which complements the home’s historic feel while offering plenty of storage. A large pantry provides extra space for household essentials, while a built-in fridge adds convenience without detracting from the room’s style. A utility room and downstairs WC are also located on this level, adding further practicality.
From the kitchen, head out through the back door to the private rear garden, a peaceful, low-maintenance outdoor space that offers both seclusion and charm. Not overlooked, the garden provides a serene retreat with a pleasing mix of seating areas, shrubs, wooden fencing, and brick walls. Designed for ease of care, this space is ideal for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining.
Heading back to the living room, the staircase leads you to the first floor, where a long, airy landing connects two spacious bedrooms. Each room has been designed to promote relaxation, with neutral tones that create a calm atmosphere. The main bedroom features another cast-iron fireplace, a charming detail that adds warmth and character, making the room feel both serene and inviting. Both bedrooms offer ample space for furnishings, providing plenty of storage options and comfort.
The fully tiled bathroom is designed with a clean, classic aesthetic, offering a white three-piece suite that includes a bathtub, toilet, and wash basin. A vanity unit below the basin provides convenient storage space, keeping the bathroom both stylish and functional.
Parking for the cottage is located at the rear, where a gated car park is accessible from Elizabeth Way. The secure car park, shared among a small cluster of neighbouring properties, offers peace of mind and convenience. This charming cottage combines the best of historic character and modern amenities, situated within easy reach of University Hospital, local schools, a nearby pub, shops, and major road links. Ideal for those seeking a characterful yet practical home, this cottage promises a delightful blend of tranquillity and accessibility.
